Peterson Irish Harp 80s Rusticated Bent Bulldog

It is a real good-looking pipe. The one @georged showed is probably out of you price range, I suspect.

is probably out of your price range

If I only had a dollar for every time I heard this, it would profoundly affect the very price range you reference...

Better make it ten...none of these guys are going to hit anything with a blunderbuss at that distance.

Better make it one with my eyesight.

 

[King Bulldog]

Too late. I already called for blunderbusses at 20 paces.

But I'll play Candy Land with the winner, so long as he isn't bleeding too profusely--bloodstains are a bitch to remove from a gaming surface.

I'll just bring me shillelagh. Better chance of hitting something.

Very, very nice Harp there . ️

Awesome, glad you snagged it. It's a real beaut. I ended up just going for the one on Wilke's site, so much for willpower! It's backordered, but it will come with the Peterson box and pipe sock, so it'll be worth the wait. I will post on here as soon as I get it, of course!

The Harp is on its way! The two month wait was tough, but with my b-day coming up, it's better this way. Will post pics once I've got my fat, grubby 39 year old (almost) paws on it.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in on this thread in the meantime. It helped to sustain me during a most unbearable wait.

Congrats and happy upcoming You Day.

Can we get back to the British guys arguing? That was getting good.
It doesn’t count for much over here - we’ve lost count of how many times we’ve beaten and saved your asses.

Perhaps I could put in a birthday request for such a thing. Then they'd be obligated to honor it.

I bought my first Peterson last year. It’s a an Irish Harp sandblast straight billiard. Smokes great.

I thing the Irish Harp line is the best value Peterson offers.

Oh you're a Soviet are you? Would have sworn you're American lol

The two month wait is over!



Now, the only question is, wait until my b-day (the 24th) to christen it, or totally jump the gun and do it the next possible moment? Regardless, it only seems right to crack a tin of Peterson Flake for the occasion.

Beautiful pipe...congrats, and enjoy.

But I figured you were going to wait for a very special occasion for its christening...such as the DOW breaking 40K!

Not a bad guess, but I'm waiting for Buttcoin to hit 100k instead.

Congrats, beautiful pipe sir, I say that if you start now, it may be broken in by your birthday.

Nice looking pipe. Seems to me the next available Friday evening would be the perfect time to give it a go.

Thanks! Yeah, that makes sense. Wifey and I are having dinner with a friend tomorrow whose surname is Peterson, so I'd kind of be an oblivious moron to ignore such an obvious signal from the Universe. Of course, I have a different Peterson dedicated to latakia aromatics, whereas the Irish Harp is going to be for straight VAs exclusively. Odds are I'll feel more like Plumcake than Pet. Flake.

It's thoughts like these that keep me out of the more well-funded insane asylums...
