Peterson St. Patrick’s Day 2023

Word on the street is the 2023 SPD pipe will be released on SPC a week from tomorrow.

I'm hopeful for a commemorative 25th anniversary style pipe.

The 1998 SPD has the same or very similar band. Maybe this is their way of commemorating the 25 year anniversary.

They in fact said it was a 25th commemoration.

OK then, take my money!

2017 was IMO the best of them. Too bad it was the only year with th me B56 shape.

Yeah, I noticed that in STP's post, but then it was to late to edit my post.

1998 Reboot… At least there’s a chance to get a smooth.

Well crap. They're not out on Smoking Pipes yet. Hmmmm.... I wonder how that happened?
Maybe they're getting released on SPC tomorrow, and not next Tuesday.
Guess we'll see.

They look fantastic though!!!!! I'm so excited I might get two!

I would have thought that for the 25th anniversary of the SPD they would have come up with something fresh, not just a remake of the 1998 pipe. And they’re charging a $100 premium for the smooths, which don’t seem to be all that spectacular as far as the grain based on the few I looked at…

 

[mikethompson]

Smart looking pipe, and I like the band. My favorite is the smooth, as that seems to suit the band a little better.

Next Tuesday per SP.com helpful phone person. Time uncertain.

For me it was 2010 with the B30 shape.

Those look like some thought went into them. No P-lip? Going for mass appeal, I guess.

Some… yes. “Hey - let’s just respin the 1998 pipe. Done deal”

Yeah $220 MSRP for the smooths is a big ask. That's well north of Silver Spigot territory and into even Punto Orosville.

Will probably pass on these despite the good looks. Stupidly the most tempting part for me is the pipe sock. Might look for one on eBay later on.
