Peterson 160th Anniversary Released

Are they laser-etched?

That's a great thought regarding stains on the blasted, but they did offer Rua and Barley, which are both blasted. Maybe offer a dark brown? I was sort of surprised they didn't do a smooth black.

I use a buffing wheel often; I just don’t get carried away with it; mostly to apply wax.

I experimented on some throw away pipes. Using White Diamond, I had to work pretty hard to erase nomenclature. With Tripoli or similar, it was easy There really isn't a need to even have Tripoli, my opinion.

The Peterson's stamp is pretty light. Or is that an engraving of sorts? It is different than the number and COM stamp. I do wish they would offer a different stain on the sandblast finish pipes,

Yeah, I'd opt for dark brown. Not a fan of black stains, thought have a number of pipes so stained.

I came across #13 today at 1:45. I don’t know when it was listed but I wasn’t going to let another Rua slip away.

Lovely. Would take the bent over the straight principally because it has a larger chamber.

Nice snag. A return from somebody nearby perhaps…? Well, enjoy.

I’ve picked up a few special releases this way. Whether they’re stragglers or returns it’s always worth checking in from time to time.

Some people's pipes haven't shipped yet (mine, for example), so it's very possible that someone just got tired of 'it' and said "give me a refund and keep your blasted pipes."

They must be slammed. I put an unrelated order in on the 18th and it’s sitting at label created. Very unusual for laudisi in my experience

The orders I placed were shipped the next day..,

Yeah, apparently the 'crunch' hit them on the 16th or 17th and hasn't let up.
