Just bought a Bay Denmark I posted, I received last week, opened today, and I wasn’t expecting also my Pete today, when it rains it pours, oh I feel like a kid in a candy store. LOL ? ? ?
The SPC Newsletter that came last week, showing the new Newgrange Spigots that came in stock, when I saw the three in black, pictured here on the right, I was like wooo nice must buy one. LOL ?
At first I thought I liked what appeared as reddish colored stems and top of the bowls, but when I looked at them on the site, they looked more brown, or darker looking red. So I surfed the web looking every where for this red look but found none. Then I thought, nah, these look to much like Christmas pipes, and the one I purchased I actually liked better.
I purchased the Newgrange Spigot 124 Fishtail, and the first thing that really caught my eye was the blast finish, that this looked like something Eltang made, and I was blown away to see a Peterson look like this, and even more amazed that it wasn’t sold immediately and still available, you know how these PAD junkies can be! LOL
I really truly can’t believe I was lucky to get this one, I’ve never seen this type of deep craggy blast before on a Peterson.
Pipe Specs:
Two pictures from SPC.
The one thing that struck me as odd, is that Peterson gives you a nice green colored suede pouch, and I do mean real suede. I guess the cows are cheaper in Ireland, instead of making a decent chamber coating, the pipe still has that plastic looking like coating. LOL ? Moo ? ?
This month last year I contacted Peterson, and made a post here, they said;
The coating is a wax mixture of gum arabic, charcoal and water.
So I’m assuming the ingredients are still the same., it looks fine, and because the blast finish is so amazing I’m not going to worry about it!
Oh and Mr Peterson @bullet08 I was thinking about you the whole time, so I hope this one makes your proud.
I’ve always enjoyed your pictures, they all look so amazing! So this one is for you, and to your health, and of course all the other Peterson lovers! I’ve always had admiration for Peterson, like every pipe smoker should at least own one.
My pictures...
Depending on the lighting, the hue of the stem varies, from a brown/orange/red color. It also looks like Cumberland, the look is really nice with all the streaks running through it.
