Peterson 9mm

[FLDRD]

I have several Petersons, mostly standard systems but some Sherlock Holmes pieces that I like quite well enough. None seem to be 9mm.

However, I've come across a Peterson I'm interested in (estate) but it has a 9mm and I'm uncertain if that will make it significantly different to me. (I know, really only trial will tell...)

I've smoked other 9mm pipes, some I like well enough and smoke sometimes.

For some reason I'm concerned that 9mm in a Peterson pipe will somehow throw me off and it just won't work "right" for me.

Any reasonable comments other than I have to try for myself to see? Any consistent quality or performance difference that can be elucidated on the matter of these as a rule?

Cheers.
And thanks

I have a Pete 9mm pipe, I've never noticed that smokes much different than any of my other straight Pete's.

Exactly my experience with a 9mm straight Pete.

All of mine are bent but don't know that it will be relevant...

Well if they’re system pipes it will. I suspect a 9mm system pipe won’t have a chimney.

Not a system, it's another Sherlock Holmes series that I saw but none of my current ones are 9mm...

Than I doubt you’ll notice any real difference.

I've got a few 9mm filtered Pete's... They smoke just fine, don't worry about it.

I will say though, that they smoke better with a balsa wood filter or a corn husk filter than they do with the Peterson charcoal cans. That's just my .02

 

[FLDRD]

I've never used a filter for my 9mm pipes though. In that regard I suppose it'll be the same as them.

I have two - like them better without the filters, one to me is noticeably a better draw.

Most smokers of filtered pipes say there isn't much difference in the quality of the smoke for the user.

I have a SIG 9mm. It doesn’t have a filter, and I don’t stick it in my mouth…

Agreed on the Balsa filter, much better than charcoal and they work good in cobs too. I have 2 9mm peterson pipes and both are great smokers.
