Not for me either...Slime Green...But the Riddler has one ?
i believe they drill that way on purpose. 1. they drill in angle for system pipes. 2. condensation from stem shouldn't run into the bowl that way. 3. it still allows pipe cleaner to pass (larger bent pipes are little different, but allows the moisture to collect like system pipes).
It looks like Peterson and then SP went all in on these. For a holiday item, at least they kept the price comparatively moderate. I have quite a few Petes, maybe six or eight. These finish, stain, and shape combinations don't excite me, but I don't recoil either. I think a copper metal shank piece instead of a nickel might have given it a little more distinction. Or there may just be so many they look a little mundane. But we'll see how the market reacts. I never quite took to the Dracula series, but it was huge. I liked the Around the World series and bought the bulldog dedicated to Ireland.
I collected many things in life and soon realized that generalism doesn't provide me enough knowledge — especially about every single thing.
I've met many pipe smokers with thousands of pieces and a bit of knowledge about each. If there wasn't a deep knowledge, what was directing all this diversity? It didn't and still doesn't make sense to me but I respect.
Even so, I've seen many dedicated colleagues experiencing a lot of pipes just to determine the best experience, without success. Sometimes the best experience is in a cheap pipe and not in a pipe made by the best pipemaker or so ever. Why? Because brair is a lottery, the experience is subjective and there's no magic in the engineering of a pipe. If I'm going to try luck anyway, I'd rather try my luck with what I know best.
Pragmatically, that's why I only have Dunhills. On the other hand, I like the trajectory of the brand... The presentation, function, beauty and tradition.
I'm completely satisfied. I have pipes from every decade of the last century. I don't see how this could be even more interesting.
There are enough people out there buying everything from everyone. That's good, but it just doesn't work for me.
That doesn't explain everything, but it should help.
Best.,

I usually buy 1or 2 every year. I was actually looking last week to see if it had posted since I was curious to see what they had come out with this year.
I was interested in either a 106 or a 69, and after looking for a bit I chose the 69.

Yeah, I would choose 69 as as well. All days every day!I usually buy 1or 2 every year. I was actually looking last week to see if it had posted since I was curious to see what they had come out with this year.

I like the contrasting dark stem they put on them. The blasting looks considerably better than Peterson has put out in previous years. I ordered up a 221. Curious to see what happens to the green stain after a number of bowls.
