It’s just good to know that if you aren’t crazy about a color, you can just wait to see of the color you might prefer comes available. I have a Rua and Regaire…. might have preferred something in a different color….

Allthough I really like the look of Petersons with Military Mounts / Spigots I decided against it. 170 euros for me could be almost 5 years of tobacco of one blend I like in my present smoking pace. Nevertheless if I really was in the market for a pipe (eg my cellar would be wide enough) it would have been a serious contender. Moving on, nothing to see here.
Tobacco is not getting any cheaper, or available. That's where I would place my money.
Whereas Peterson will still be cranking out pipes several years from now...
True. This will probably be my last new pipe for quite a while for that exact reason.
Thats what I told myself when I got my own bought "i have been nice santa" presents... And still look at me looking at my next pipe. Its a decease and for a change not the 21st century plague.
Yep, I was "done" when I secured two 4ABs, then as long as I woke up at 4 a.m. anyway and managed to get one in my cart I ordered a rusticated one on SP EU (finally arriving in a few hours!), then I saw one of the original Sherlock Holmes release pipes, unsmoked NIB, so . . . grabbed that, then I saw a Comoy from the 30s which was an era I wanted an estate pipe from (again unsmoked!) . . . then Secret Santa gave me a super cool old Comoy (why do we need these "new" pipes? Yes, purely rhetorical). Then TP sent me a little freebie stress ball to squeeze (I don't think it is supposed to cure PAD or TAD, but rather they want me to chill and order more, lol). These new Petersons are beautiful, IMO, and I had one picked out but got distracted and came back and it was gone and figured I better take that as a sign for now because I'm "done". Well, I'm done typing because I need to squeeze my little black ball!
My 150 showed up in the mail over the weekend. I'm very impressed by it. Going to hold off on smoking it until after the new year when we get out of the camper and settled into the house.
i was deep into was deep into my most profound PAD during peak COVID with an irresistible combination - more funds due to working from home (less gas) and a little bored. Out of that came this purchase. In non-PAD episodes, I may have passed on it, but if I did id pass up on something special.
It hasn’t been a year, but you can hopefully detect a darkening of the bowl. I wish I could show a “before” picture, but I didn’t think of that at the time.
in addition to the meerschaum-like interest it generates vis a vis coloring, it’s become one of my most regularly used pipes in my stable. It’s lightweight, the bowl is medium in size, and it has smoked beautifully right out of the box from day one. It’s truly a pleasure, and I was going to suggest a friend get one this morning but I realize they’re all gone. I’m sad for him, but I am all the more pleased that I leaped at the chance to buy one myself.
How is yours smoking? I got a 128 and it’s clearly one of the best Petersons (and pipes) I own from a smoking point of view. It’s looks have grown on me as well. What’s your take?

Beautiful pipes. Keep the in progress pictures coming.
If you bought it from Smoking Pipes one should be in your purchase history ?
Right you are! Thanks for the reminder. Here it is. Not same lighting, etc., but it’s something. I do notice the difference up close.

I really love Birdseye on a pipe and this is a good example! This is a very nice pipe IMHO!
