Last week I got my first Pete, a sandblasted Pub Pipe courtesy of our friends at Smokingpipes. Aesthetically pleasing, not a perfect briar, even the sandblast couldn’t cover that up, but she smokes great! Cool, dry, easy to clean. The bowl is very large, but the weight at 3+ ounces doesn’t get in the way of clenching due to the Oom Paul heavy bend. All around super pleased with this pipe.
