New Peterson on Board

[oldmaus]

My new Peterson system 306 arrived today from smokingpipes.com. I smoked a bowl to start breaking it in. The P-lip is definitely different to get used to but I think I will like it. I have a bunch of Boswell samples I am working on that I received yesterday. With the pipe came a tin of Low Country Cooper and some Bob's Chocolate Flake both of which are new to me. So I have a lot of taste testing to do! :D

Sounds like you got your "work" cut out for with trying all those new blends! Congrats on the new Pete!

Fun "work" it will be!! I thought I intercepted the post but evidently not. I had not put the picture in and got trigger happy. I have now posted with the picture if one of you moderators care to merge or delete the "picture less" submission please do.
Edit: It's fixed! Bubba

That's one fine looking pipe! I have a 306 estate on the way. Been wanting one for a long time. ENJOY!!

I really like the "sitter" part! :D

I smoked a full bowl in it so far. This is the first pipe I am breaking in so I am not quite sure what I am doing. I am just smoking as usual and trying to keep it cool as I do. I may swab a little honey in the bowl for the next load. I have hundreds of pounds of honey available since I am a beekeeper.

I really enjoy the p-lip stem that peterson offers!!!

The main thing is to smoke slow and cool while breaking the pipe in. I don't do the partial bowl thing any more , but then i have been breaking in pipes for over 40 years.

Nice,...very nice. As Uncle Arthur says; smoke slowly at first.

I tried my first one not too long ago and I have to say that I really like the system pipes, they work.

When you pull the stem after a smoke you can see the "wet" down in the chamber.

Congrats!

Be sure to clean the sump with a Q-tip on pipe cleaner after each smoke.
