New Peterson Sandblasted Silver Spigot with Cumberland Stem

[bentmike]

Thanks Lankford I bought that pipe in the past year from cup o' Joe's so it was new but I don't know it's exact date of manufacture. The spigots are one of my favorite lines from Peterson I hope to add a few more to My collection.

Very nice Pete spigots guys!

Just smoked my new Spigot for the first time. Wonderful first smoke! Excellent draw...cool dry smoke. I smoked FM on the Town + extra Latakia...experienced great flavor from this virgin pipe. Lot's more to smoke before I build a realizable cake...but, I've kinda fallen in LOVE with this pipe.

Friends, I could use some advice. How does a spigot mount break down (separate)?
Tonight I purchased a Peterson that I have wanted for a long time, finding it on sale from a reputable on-line retailer at a price lower than I've ever seen, and I'm very excited to start smoking. However, it'll be my first spigot, and I don't want to accidentally abuse it.
Thanks in advance,

Jay

Briarfriar, that green spigot is a beautiful pipe! I've never had a spigot, but my understanding is that they are basically fancy army mounts. Don't quote me on that, but I think I'm right. I've wanted a Peterson green spray for a while myself, just haven't found the right one, or had the coin when I did find it! Lol! Congrats!

petes03 is totally correct. Its a fancy military mount, so no fear of taking it apart while smoking. One thing to pay attention to is swabbing out the shank when you clean it. I basically fold a bristle cleaner over, dip it in alcohol and swab until the cleaner come out clean.
That is a seriously nice pipe. Let us know how it smokes.

I just took delivery on this Peterson Spigot in green, and I'm stunned by its aesthetic qualities. At 6.5 inches in length, it is longer than what I'm accustomed to, but despite that and the sterling silver hardware, it feels quite light.
The shades of green, with its near luminescence created by the flame grain, are sublime.
I'll try to post a photo or two, but I don't think photos will convey the luster and color.
Definitely bringing this to New York Pipe Club tomorrow night.

Make sure when you clean it to not get any alcohol on the green stain as it will remove it.

 

[briarfriar]

Absolutely!
I'm almost reluctant to smoke it, knowing it'll darken over time.

Nice! I love the look of a spigot.

 

[bentmike]

Congrats briarfriar. That's a great looking spigot. The Pete spigots still catch my eye quite often.

I tried hard to shoot just one photograph that captures the beauty of the green and silver of my new pipe, but I cannot master the needed lighting. It's a beauty though.
Hopefully it will show here.

I have a couple of silver spigot pipes and find they tricky to photograph, at least with a point & shoot digital camera.

A Peterson spigot has been on my hitlist for awhile, very nice pipe.

Beautiful pipe, I really like the Silver Spigot line of Peterson pipes.

On my wish list also.
