Peterson 2024 St. Patrick's Day Pipe

I wish they’d do a green RUA type contrast stain.

Green stain is notoriously difficult to do, If you remember the Racing Green line, they were pipes that started out green but quickly faded to not green after about 12 smokes or any exposure to sunlight. Just about every attempt Peterson has made to use green stain has ended quickly in failure.

Yeahhhh, my wallet is safe for now. Had they looked like the 2017's in @Chasing Embers post above, I would have been on board.

I wish they’d figure out how to do it.
Last years SP day pipes were underwhelming but better than 2022 and this year must be finished in the classic “ Failed to know my Customer Base finish”
2000 & 2017 have been my favorites.

In a sandblast contrast.
I agree though 2017 did it right.

They need to look at the 2017s and go back to the drawing board.

I completely agree. I think the 2015 was also cool.

Absolutely true. I had a racing green pipe which turned puke green/ olive drab. It was terrible. Although they are pretty, I've not purchased another green stained pipe because of that experience. (And the continued experiences of others)

I have a green 2020 SPD (69). The green is holding up pretty well on that but it could be the rusticated finish keeping it together lol

Why can't we have a 70th anniversary Godzilla pipe?

 

[CoffeeAndBourbon]

Umm. Wow. I'll pass

 

[Sigmund]

Interesting.. Very interesting..

Not going to buy one this year. It just looks cheap to me. Sorry, not sorry.

Damn its January, cant we chill with the marketing until a few weeks before?

Also ugly af, who even approved that garbage.

I think the guys who work on it are Sykes, Glen Whelan, Joshua Burgess, and maybe Shane Ireland.

In typical Peterson fashion, you either love it or hate it.

That band is way too loud and contrasting in a bad way, and doesn't go with any of the stummel finishes. I see lots of pipes that aren't my style, but I can still say they look good even though I don't like them. These? They're downright hideous.

I'd have rather seen them resurrect an old offering than this, if this was the best idea they could come up with.

I think what this gives me interest in is an all black Halloween pipe:

Black acrylic band on system pipes finished in black rusticated, black sandblast, or black/ebony smooth.
