Here they are

Ugh, I saw those. Just when I was convinced that all Christmas pipes were too flashy for me, Pete goes and does something tasteful two years in a row. RIP bank account.

Nothing wrong with that. I like the darker brown/tan stem with the stain. Very nice.

Those are beauts! I love my Peterson 87 2018 Christmas pipe and the 2019s look just as good. I only wish Pete could make a half bent pipe without drilling the draught hole at the top of the mortise!

Got myself this XL90...

Very attractive. Although it doesn't scream Christmas, it will make a nice year round smoker. I'm becoming more of a copper trim fan, I think.

I like a Christmas pipe that looks comfortable year round. I love the hefty look of Petes anyway, the shapes selected for the Christmas pipes, and the nifty copper color of the metal work, which is unique without being conspicuous. If I didn't have so many pipes and so many Petes, I'd be an easy mark.

I guess I'm the only one that finds them ugly as sin. I do like the copper but a big nope on the brown on brown for me.

Pete's rustication - both pre and post acquisition is a total non-starter for me. Looks scrappy

I didn’t like them at first, but then kept looking and grabbed a 999 that had, in my opinion, the classiest looking rustication out of the lot. It all comes down to personal preference.

Those Rhodesians are my favorite of the bunch. Nice pick! Let us know how you like it. I'd love to know whether the draught hole is drilled in the center of the mortise.

 

[mikethompson]

I need a new pipe like a hole in the head, and thankfully I'm into cleaning up estates now, otherwise I'd be in trouble.

Just arrived.
