True story... I just bought one. It should arrive this Wednesday or Thursday. I'll report back.
I will say that I had reservations about Petes from several negative experiences over the last decade, but in the last year I have picked up four new production pieces, and they have all been spot on perfect in engineering, shaping, & finish. My luck is nowhere near that good... I think the quality has improved greatly over the last 1-2 years from what I can tell.

I like my other Peterson’s, they are all estate pipes, can’t afford new ones
I just bought a Newgrange Spigot 107 over the past weekend. So, I'm kind of in love with the way it looks, but can't offer any specifics in terms of smoking characteristics. I have one other Peterson, an entry-level Shannon 150. It took a bit longer than some, but not all, of my pipes to break in, but is now one of my best smokers. There are some horror stories here from members who have had bad experiences with Petersons, but there are also many dedicated fans. I felt comfortable taking the leap based on my good experience, and the fact that the pipe was on sale. But I'm also going to give it a good once over when it arrives and I'm prepared to drop it like a bad habit if it doesn't work out for me.
@danimalia I think you’ll like it. 
Spigots usually have a very wide open draw so take that into your smoking considerations ?

I’ve had run of the mill Peterson’s that smoke flawlessly, and high end ones that smoke wet and have construction flaws... they’re all a bit of a gamble. I still like their pipes, though. Spigots seem to do pretty well, and the one I have smokes fine. As long as it’s in good enough condition for your standards and the price is one you’re comfortable paying, I say go for it.
I got this 120 used (beat to hell), solely because the price was too good to pass up. It’s rough but the draw is pretty wide open and it smokes just fine, though I rarely reach for it these days.

I know you tried to steer me towards something other than a spigot or army mount, but I couldn't help myself@danimalia I think you’ll like it.

I have in my smoked stock 98 Petersons, about half a dozen of those are estates. I have 124 Petersons in my unsmoked stock, 125 with the 307 spigot that arrived yesterday. I have had no negative experiences maybe
because I am not an American.
because I am not an American.
I had no idea that nationality could fix engineering issues.
I have owned but 2 spigots, a 106 red and a 68 green.
Both great smokers with no issues. If I were in the market for another, I would not hesitate.

I think he’s saying we bitch about nothing.
I would like to know what you mean by that. Are you saying because iam an American I get faulty productsI think he’s saying we bitch about nothing.
no he's saying that we bitch about something that isn't a problem.
because you always hear people dogging on Pete's but other pipes have the same issues.
