Peterson Junior Sandblasted Apple

[solideogloria86]

I have been admiring these for some time, especially the lovat, but I'm not really a fan of the newer Peterson rustication. The blast on this little apple somehow swayed me away from a lovat.

I picked it up from the post office last night, along with a few 2oz bags of bulks. One of those was C&D Pegasus. I'd never tried it before, but heard many good things about it. For a first bowl of a new to me blend, everything was quite pleasant. Well drilled, good open draw. The tobacco reminds me of a sweeter Haunted Bookshop. Quite enjoyable. My only complaint about the pipe is that there's a small gap between shank and stem with the tenon fully seated. I'll fix it. All in all, this'll make a perfect jacket pocket pipe.

Enjoy it & can’t say enough about Pegasus…cheers. ️

Those short apples have been tempting me too but I’m almost certain I’d find them too short. If they added 2cm to the stem length that would’ve been perfect but I’m sure it would’ve thrown off the look quite a bit.

Can you post some pics of the pipe beside a Czech tool?

I really like that series of pipe from Peterson. However I don't do black. That has turned me off of many pipes before. But the shapes and sizes of the junior series are perfect for me!

Nice looking pipe. A bit smaller than my normal choice but I can see the utility.

I don't have any Czech tools at the moment, but here's a pic with a Bic for scale.

Thanks! I think it’s too tiny for me but I still really want one!

These Juniors are great with strong flakes. Too small a chamber for the dreaded dizziness.

I never thought of that before but that makes sense. Thank you for further enabling a purchase of a pipe I don’t need

The Junior is right in my wheelhouse. It may also be worth noting that all 3 of these pipes have roughly the same chamber size. 0.75"x1.5" give or take 0.01"

I think chamber size is right on but just a little too short (which I didn’t know could be a thing for me until recently).

I forget but is that bottom one a Musico? And weren’t your culling the herd a little while back? How many are you back up to?

The bottom one is a Ryan Alden commission patterned after a Musico. The middle is a Musico.
I have a total of 5 briars. The other two are an Eltang poker my wife bought me for Christmas, and an Ascorti Christmas pipe my mother bought me for Christmas.

It is a very nice pipe.

Ah right. Thanks for the reminder.

Lovely Pipe, enjoy.

I can't believe I forgot to mention the pre republic Peterson system 314 I have also! I've got it packed up to send to Briarville for a full restoration. I keep forgetting to mail it off.
