Peterson System Pipes And Their Current Stems.

[bullet08]

I mentioned posting this in another thread. Had to dig into few boxes. Here they are. From left to right, House Pipe, Premium 307, Standard 301, Spigot 313. Premium was purchased back in 2018. By that time, the stems were same as Standard acrylic stems. You can see the aluminum chimney in House Pipe, but Premium and Standard just have extension at the end of tenon. Spigot doesn't have chimney at all. But they all function fine as far as dryness is concerned.

Which do you prefer and why?

I was gifted a Standard 307 (possibly Premier based on the smooth, natural finish), which began my Peterson journey. Recently, I picked up a House Pipe for longer weekend smokes while reading (and may be able to finally try it now that the weather is breaking). I'm intrigued by the Spigot series.

Deluxe seems to do the job just a hair better. But not enough to pay the premium for. I like the Spigot. Just a sucker for extra sterling.

Thanks for this comparison! I've been wanting my birth year in the old hand made house pipes (or a Mark Twain, or briar circle...) and a system spigot for my kid's birth year.
