Peterson Factory/James Fox Dublin, Ireland

[shutterbug]

My Nephew, studying in Med School in Dublin, brought me back a present...actually a few presents. His flat is a block away from the Peterson Factory, James Fox and other great shops, and he was in town for 24 hours before heading up North to Thunder Bay to do a residency stint. Check out all the bundles of joy he brought me!

Wow! What a haul! That's definitely going to add a bundle to his student loan! :roll:
Enjoy them all.

That is fantastic. If he needs another friend I am available.

Fabulous! What an amazing collection. Which one did you choose first?

 

[shutterbug]

Just got them last night. I'm leaning towards the tiny Belgiques to see how such a small pipe smokes...

Congrats shutterbug - you're one lucky guy!

 

[papa]

Say Bug. You know I have allways liked your nephew? Oh yes, your brother, is the best. I think we are related?

 

[docwatson]

That's quite a selection of beautiful Peterson's. Congratulations, and have fun breaking them in.

 

[rcstan]

Awesome !
An instant Peterson collection. You don't favor bent ones though?

 

[dochudson]

I hope you plan on getting him a hell of a graduation present.

 

[soggycitybob]

Wow! Again, wow!

What a great nephew. Congratulations on a fantastic addition to your collection!

He is probably at Trinity College, which is contiguous to where the Peterson flagship store and James Fox is. The Peterson factory itself is actually in another part of Ireland. I visited both stores in October when I was in Dublin for a conference. Great pipes there, my friend. The bottom two are my favourites.

Nice haul! Enjoy!

 

[shutterbug]

I bought my Nephew a fancy schmancy stethoscope before he left for Ireland, and he has returned the gesture many times over! He still needs to return back after his residency stint, so I may just go and visit him and pick up a few more Peterson`s straight from the factory.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Interesting question about whether there is a store at the actual Peterson factory. Anybody know?

 

[shutterbug]

From what he tells me, he went to the Peterson factory, and was directed to James Fox store which is right beside the factory.

I have the same tankard and love it for 20-30 minute smokes or for hi octane blends like 1792 Flake or Bracken Flake.
Great pipes!! Enjoy!
