My new Peterson African Meerschaum ....

[rcstan]

..... arrived yesterday afternoon from Marty Pulvers
No markings to make it a Pete other than the "K&P Petersons" on the collar. Beautiful pipe. It is a System. Very heavy due to the material, heavier feeling than my XL90.
It was as clean as I keep the rest of my pipes on the rack. Broke it in with SG Grousemoor ( review will be posted soon ). What a lovely smoke, very cool and dry.
This pipe is probably as old as I am ( turned 35 this summer ) .... I gather these were made in the 70s.
Here's some pics for you

The third picture has it sitting next to a System 317 ( my "baby Pete" ), the smallest Pete System AFAIK.

Only slightly off topic: Grousemoor is the best!
Interesting how it looks nothing like a stereotypical meerschaum.

Nice pipe. Thought about picking that one up myself but no PAD money.

Good looking pipe. I would like to get it into some sort of protective custody from the Grousemoor. looks way to nice for that for sure!!!

Mick : indeed. On both counts. I wouldn't make it a day smoke unless I had to.
Dervis : to me, Grousemoor is exceptional and unique. Something about those flowery flavours that I dig ....

I have a tin of it missing 1 bowl, it's probably a little dry but if you want it PM me an address. Again very nice pipe.

Oh so true! It's my desert island smoke: if I only had one baccy for the rest of my life, it would be Grousemoor!

Being an African meer & Peterson slut, I really Like that pipe. I have never tried Grousemoor I will have to add it to my TAD list.

Those meers are great, I own one just like that but it's colored differently. It smokes great. Another guy that hasn't tried Grousemoor. I love SG's blends but haven't bit the bullet on that particular blend yet

I was wondering who bought that pipe. I looked at it several times. Glad she's got a good home rcstan.

 

[rcstan]

Thanks, jah76. I will give it a good home. It won't go to eBay.
