Peterson Kerry X105

[JHud71]

Bestowed upon me this past Christmas by my significantly better half. Really dig the aesthetic. It’s just gorgeous (IMO). Smokes well but it’s a spitter. Invariably, thus far, regardless of tobacco moisture content it’ll gurgle. Swabbing 1-3x per bowl has been necessary. It’s not a problem as far as I’m concerned and I’m smitten with the pipe just in general anyway

Usually run a pipe cleaner once or twice during smoke. Not because the pipes gurgle, but any hint of moisture causes harsh retrohale for me. While doing that I dump the ashes too. This typically gives cleaner taste.

Nice pipe indeed!

Beautiful pipe. I treasure the pipes my wife has given me.

Very nice. You're a lucky man.

Almost all my pipes gurgled a bit at first, but most will stop at a certain point after breaking them in. I have a Peterson Shannon 150 that took forever to stop gurgling but it eventually grew out of it and has always been a good smoker regardless.

Beautiful pipe, congratulations.

Nice pipe. I like the Peterson 105,106,107 shape. I like Petersons in general. So much so that I've probably got about 40 of them...

My first decent pipe pipe was a Peterson Limerick 69, bought 30 years ago.

All the Petersons I own, and all the billiards that I own, I don't have a Peterson billiard, but I always enjoy seeing those 105 and 106 billiards online. Fine examples of the shape, to me.

Congrats! It's cold(er) out now so you will get more condensation in the stem...all my pipes gurgle more in the winter.

It's always nice when the wife buys something for you that you want. The old "I thought you needed this" routine really gets tiring.

 

[Grangerous]

I’m definitely a fan! Enjoying my first Peterson as I type. Yours is a real looker! Love the stem contrast. Enjoy!

I have always admired the Kerry line from Peterson. I purchased a 106 two years ago that had to be returned and exchanged because of severe quality control issues. The replacement is handsome and a great smoker.
