Peterson Meer

[marmal4de]

Does anyone have one, that can comment on quality? I have always been creeped out by meers, but really want to try one now.

I've had one since the early 70s and still consider it one of my best smoking pipes. Mine is a smooth classic design (no pirate heads or dragons) and has developed that golden color meers are famous for. The absorbency of the clay also makes for a very dry smoke. I am hard pressed to come up with a single negative comment about this little old Pete. Happy smoking.

I happen to have one that is my only Peterson (so far) and I absolutely love it. It's an older one so I don't know how that applies to their meers of today but it seems like their quality is as good as it ever was. Mine is their 106 shape and has a huge bowl for a good long smoke that is always cool and dry unless I puff too fast. It's a great pipe and I'd say you have every reason to want one.

If I was to buy one, it would have to be an estate! Thanks Matt & seakayak for pushing my PAD over the edge!

 

[hobie1dog]

now the mad dash to Ebay to search for one.

 

[marmal4de]

That's exactly what happened, doesn't look like any are up right now tho

 

[marmal4de]

Scratch that!

 

[marmal4de]

The search is finally over, right pipe right price, thanks lonestar, these are pre-restoration pics.

[arinbjorn]

Gorgeous! I am envious.
At first i thought it was a briar judging by the color, heh.

 

[unclearthur]

BEAUTY!

 

[lonestar]

Thanks guys. 30 years worth of wear and tear took some elbow grease to come out.

Spent an hour with a toothbrush cleaning gunk out of the finish, but it turned out well.

I like seeing a good old pipe getting new life, and I think Marmal4de is going to love it.

I'll be posting a whole bunch of restored pipe for sale here in the next few days, but I always forget to take pics before the cleanup starts.

 

[marmal4de]

I am ecstatic, this pipe will round my collection out nicely, just need to find a nice interesting cob, then I'll be set!

 

[lonestar]

Marmal4de, you must not have realized I'm the Cob King.

I'm going to round out your collection for you. Bent or straight ?

 

[marmal4de]

Oh man, straight for sure! That's so cool, thanks!

 

[jasongone]
