It does seem to be a love hate thing with the green. Personally, I don't care for the blue green color of the Irish Sea series of Petersons, but am a fan of the darker greens. Now I just have to decide what to smoke in it. To me the shape says it's an English blend pipe, but the color kind of has me thinking aromatics. It will be one or the other, as I only have a couple of VA/VAPer pipes and tend to smoke them only on a rare occasion.
