Peterson Dracula Series North American Realse?

Definitly will be keeping my eye out for this.

My B&M just received one the other day. Shape was a 69. He ordered another one but its on back order until after the first of the year. I had wanted to buy one but due to recent events I may have to hold off. We'll see. It really is a nice looking pipe.

I am starting to rethink my pipe dedication... A Dracula has Nøsféråtü written all over it!

I've been waiting for them to pop up on Cup O Joe's who though they'd be in by November. Apparently they thought wrong as it's mid December and they're still not available. Might have to go through a local shop to get one.

Just asked PipesandCigars.com via their Facebook page if/when they would have this series in stock. Their response was "soon...very soon". Keep an eye out!

 

[metarzan]

Good to hear. I have 5 or 6 emails and alerts out for the 03 model. Will be my first Peterson and I am glad it has the fishtail and not the P-lip. But do all Petersons have the dripless reservoir in the shank?

Good news guys! Thanks for the updates. :puffpipe:

There is one up on Ebay if you guys are interested. I am not familiar with the seller so just make sure you check that out too. I know one sold the other day as well. :puffpipe:

Did you notice that the stem of the one on eBay doesn't have much black in it. Kinda looks weird.

 

[jharvard]

I wasn't impressed with the pictures the seller posted on Ebay. I agree the stem did look a bit odd compared to all the other photos I have seen of the same pipe. :puffpipe:

If anyone is interested, here is a response I received from Peterson on the Dracula series:

Hello Sir
Thanks for your email and kind words.
Unfortunately the Dracula pipe range was a limited range and will not be repeated for the forseeable future. If you would like to have a look on our website you may find another range you would like to purchase for you here.
Regards

Glen

And they never imported the 03 model to the states. Bummer.

Hey guys just an update I picked up two of the Dracula's at my local B&M today a X105 and 999. Here are a few pics of the two. I considering selling the 999 to fund a Dunhill I've got my eye on.

Argh! I'm so sketchy on new Pete's right now, but dang! These really call out to my ghoulish side.

 

[machurtado]

Ghost I looked these over really hard before I bought them and the fit and finish is great on both of them. If you can find them I would definitely recommend picking one up.

PAD is like a vampire that sucks money from my wallet.

 

[greatsteaks]

Do you guys smoke your dracula pipes or just collect them unsmoked?

 

[ghost]

I never ended up getting one, but if I did it would be smoked. Every pipe I acquire is expected to work for a living... ::
Edit- Welcome aboard by the way...

 

[greatsteaks]

Thanks for the welcome. I went to my B&M last week to buy a Pete and the lady working there said they had two Draculas, I said no thanks (having never seen one in person). On the way something caught my eye, it was the Dracula, now I think I want a 69.

 

[machurtado]

I have one that I smoke and love it! I'd go ahead and get one cause they are a hot commodity. On another note 4noggins had quite a few in stock for those looking for one.
