The finishes tend to follow consumer trends.
They absolutely do, and I get that, I mean, they're in business to
stay in business. I just get frustrated when they only seem to focus on impulse seasonal buying. Look at the number of Dracula, Christmas, and St. Patrick's Day pipes available at your favorite online retailer vs. their classic lines like the Irish Harp. Christ, now they practically only make the Irish Harp in the new rustication as well. Ugh. If you go to the actual Peterson website and see what's available for sale and there's not much from their classic lines. But to your point, I should be upset with consumers rather than Petersons I suppose...although I don't think consumers made those Arans so dark, lol.
