The number left is telling. Definitely not my cup of tea.

Maybe they can just plug new orange stems in em’ viola - 2023 St. Patrick’s Day pipes…
The 4AB ticked all my Peterson boxes and I've been very happy with those. There was a limited release of a Sherlock Watson "Junior" earlier this year and those went quickly, but I was happy to get one - I like the chunky rustication and I'm a fan of their "short" pipes and that's kind of the Sherlock equivalent of a "short" - kind of like Walther PPK sized pipes. I picked up an Iora spigot XL02 sandblasted in a natural finish (I think that was a special release, can't remember) and that is one of my favorite pipes.
This particular shape wasn't for me, but glad those that wanted it were able to get one. This may be anathema to some, but I read a lot of Mark Twain growing up and just never had the connection to his work I had to many other authors, Doyle and Poe among them, but maybe that's just a reflection on my other tastes and interests at certain stages, lol. Now I'm more "mature", haha, maybe I should revisit.
@craig61a - with all your Peterson experience I can understand your frustration with less than satisfactory standards. I haven't had that issue in any obvious way (can always return to SP) but I don't have the years of experience to compare to the older models. I have purchased a couple of shapes that once received didn't really do much for me, but that's just sorting out preferences. I do have an old 999 I was happy to purchase from @ssjones that is a fine pipe, and also a favorite.

Makes me wish they actually had a competitor.
The constant crashes on releases from their site, this double sale crap, and then timing releases to be at midnight est would normally be enough to send me elsewhere, but there are no other sites with the selection they have for both Pipes and Tobacco and they know that.
Otherwise they would fix how terrible their website performs during releases like this.
Yeah, I don't think the rustication is all that bad and definitely an improvement over the pine cone approach.
I didnt mind it on the St Patrick's one. Thought it was unique and paired with the green stem I grabbed one and its perfectly fine smoker for that price too.
Then again, I am a sucker for their St. Patrick line, and this last one is nowhere near their worst. I have 2 or 3 from different years that I would say hurt the eyes more than the rustication on the 2022 one.

I had the same experience. After waiting and refreshing the SP page I found a Rua I wanted,selected offline payment with the intention of finalizing the order today only to receive an email telling me the pipe was sold prior to my purchase. Of course now the only POTY finish available is rusticated.
I pulled the trigger but I am hoping SP addresses this glitch in the ordering process.
Interesting. Nothing terribly thematic there to me. IMO. On the other hand, last week I saw an unsmoked Burren on eBay. I thought it was very, very nice. Never saw that line of Pete's. I'm on a mission now.
I have six or eight Petes I like very much. Mine tend toward the low to mid-price lines, and all but one are fishtail bits. The shapes on these POY's aren't my favorites, though I think the metal work is handsome. Maybe my favorite is a slightly bent bulldog in a red stain with a broad nickel band with a Celtic cross in the Around the World series, this pipe commemorating Ireland. It's also my St. Patrick's Day pipe. I've been lucky with my Petes; no problems, and they ware well.
I love the Burren pipes. I've got two of them.
I love natural unfinished pipes. It's probably my favorite look for a pipe.
A brick & mortar home. A little research online and you can pin point exact address on Google maps with street view.
I had to Google the Burren pipe. Read up on them on Peterson Pipe Notes (blog 102)
Nice looking pipes. I like the natural look with the mocha colored stems.
I agree. Now that I saw that I would like to get my hands on one, even as an estate. When did they come out? And I suppose another of their limited editions?
