Nice joke. Thought Peterson had a vendetta against mustachioed smokers.

A few comments on PPN seem to think it's a joke.

Brilliant!! Glad I saw your post - I saw the PPN very early this morning and thought I’d wait and share my negative thoughts when I was feeling more awake, haha. I was fooled!

This was an April Fool's joke? Then who did I PayPal F&F $500 to?

Sorry about that, couldn't resist

As long as it went to a CPG then I say that's money well spent.

Better file that claim man

It didn't appeal to me. Without the green acrylic crown or blood red stem it just doesn't scream Peterson.

Dammit, I would have bought one!

Sold out within hours. Many collectors added them to their cart, only to find that pipe had been sold.

Peterson drops a new line of reverse calabash pipes, they call it "rear basket". Read the details in Marks's blog entry this AM:
(and see Ashdiggers 1911 Calabash!)

Also needs a 9mm, amirite?

(At first I misunderstood that!) Yes, but the stems are too short.

Haha...I think most people still believe this is real. Hate to say it, but as much as I like my Petersons, they just aren't quite this creative with their designs.

for a company that old and famous there is a fine line between innovation and screwing with tradition.

I got one. They forgot to drill a hole in it so its going back.
