Peterson Christmas Pipes

Sam over at GQ Tobaccos has some in stock. They cost £99.99 for the rustic and the other finishes are a little more. Lovely looking pipes.

Yep, someone linked them to me a couple of days ago. Didn't see any smooths on any of the UK websites, unless they got snapped up instantly. Thankfully, I had already got mine!

Oh no bummer!

Actually never mind, reading a little further looks like you’re all good now lol

I must admit I was somewhat tempted by a Heritage D17 this year, but I still just feel pretty ambivalent about that finish.

Did you pick one up?

No, unfortunately I didn't have the funds. I had money for more tobacco or a Christmas pipe but not both. I went for more tobacco.

Always the right choice!

As stated in the Peterson thread, as soon as I picked up the 230 I received for the first time, the ferrule slid loose from the stem. I assume these are affixed with some sort of glue?

I contacted Peterson who told me to contact the reseller.

I contacted the reseller (in the UK) who gave me 2 options:

1. Return it at my expense and they will swap it for another pipe and credit me the cost of shipping.
2. Have it repaired here in the US and they will credit me for the repair.

Problem is, I have no idea who would be able to repair this competently.

Peterson is doing everything in their power to stop me from buying their pipes. Bad smoking dracula, Christmas pipe, etc.

Why not just buy some glue and be done with it?

I would just use some 2 part epoxy and do it yourself. I can’t believe they asked you to pay for a return for what is clearly a defective product. Very bad look.

I have no problem doing that but being new to smoking pipes and all, was unsure if there would be any health concerns using epoxy on a breathing stem which will see low grade heat. You know, health concerns above and beyond the cancerous smoke I will be inhaling anyway.

Does anyone know how Peterson does it? Do they use a special glue?

I would just get some clear two part 2 part epoxy. It will say the dry times on the back of the package. After that it will be done “gassing” off whatever it will gas off and be fine.

 

[Seeleybc1]

I agree with others that a two part epoxy would work, with no chance the ferrule will ever escape again.

And regarding the other option, if they’re willing to credit you for repair I can recommend MadPipes LLC personally, from some restoration work he did on one of my pipes.

I wonder if reaching out to Laudisi here in the states would get you anywhere?

 

[irishearl]

Oh heavens, a clear glue of nearly any sort is an easy fix. The 2 pipes I had where the ferrules came loose after years of use were easily re-attached with it.

I'll glue it over the weekend.

Thanks, Peterson! May the most annoying day of your past be the best day of your future.

Just go easy on the glue so it doesn’t ooze out and suggest you tape the outside surfaces with blue painters tape.
