I've been drawn to this Peterson shape for some time now, but have never actually pulled the trigger. Can't put my finger on why that is. Do you guys have one? Like it, dislike it?

Wow, I really like that grain. I also love a dublin, and I love spigots... but... for me, the bend is too extreme for my tastes. But, as a whole, it is a very attractive pipe.
Love it! That’s a great shape, grain, and spigot is cool.
Yeah, maybe I should have used a more generic photo, lmao! That is definately NOT the pipe. Just a stock photo I pulled off google. But yes, that specific pipe is a beautiful example indeed. Let's try this one instead though.
If you like the pipe, my opinion shouldn't matter. But, since you asked... without the grain, my "wow" factor went from a 9 to a 2. But, if you like it, that would be all that matters.
To my eye, the top-line transition point between the bowl and the shank is a tad high.
IOW, I'd prefer to see that "V" carved a bit deeper, so that the top of the shank meets the bowl a bit lower.
Just my visual taste. YMMV.

I have one but not in a spigot. I love the shape and smoke I get from it, but it's in a P-lip, which I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I think I'm just more partial to a fishtail. All that aside, the shape is great, which reminds me of Sherlock Holmes, and I tend to pull that pipe out when I watch an episode of the older Jeremy Brett Granada series.
I have one and thought I'd like it and it is the only pipe I own I've never smoked, lol. I think and thought it looks great in pics, etc. and once in hand it just didn't speak to me.
I have a 2020 SPD B10, I like it. Smokes great.
Not sure why, never really was drawn to that shape. Was gonna try Christmas pipe in that shape, but didn't find one catching my eyes.
That green blast is pretty cool!
Thank you. I always download the image of the pipes I buy (majority through SmokingPipes).
I have one B10, a Peterson Jekyll and Hyde. I like the Jekyll and Hyde pipes. I don't love the B10, I don't hate it either...it's just okay.
I love my kissing-cousin in the B line the B5. This one a gold band Supreme.
I have a sandblast (and lacquered) Rosslare Royal Irish B10. It’s a funny shape, but I love the one I have.
I have an XL 315 silver spigot, I think I like the B10 better. If you dig it, find a finish you like and enjoy.
I too, have been admiring the B10 because it seems to be a slightly larger chamber than other Dublins, but I am comparing it to the Hansom shape which is larger. Although, like @telescopes above, I would be hesitant to buy one I hadn't seen in person unless there were many pictures available.
I have a b10 with the amber stem. I also had a regular fishtail made for it. It's a lovely pipe but be aware that the conical bowl isn't that big (on mine anyway).
I smoke straight Virginia in it such as FVP and Christmas Cheer
The amber stem came with a special bone tennon. The same sort of thing as you get now with deluxe system pipes except that instead of metal it's bone.
Picture wiith the extra stem I had made. Apologies for the terrible camera work
. I swear, a cat could do a better job of photographing things than my backwards arse
