Title edited for capitals. Wow! Over ten years between signing up and first post that I've seen! Welcome! We now use capitals for important words in titles. and generally put location in.

Hey everyone
Got this Peterson, Christmas 2011
And it got those bubbles, blisters... can anyone help me restore it? Would like to keep the green color, so wanted to avoid acetone (?)
Any ideas?

Kind of funky as it is, have to say.

Take some sandpaper to it and remove that shiny finish. Nobody likes a shiny pipe anyway

That is steam that arose under the wax coat. Dampen a cloth with alcohol (damp not wet) and lay it on top to draw out the moisture. It works on furniture and will probably work here as well. There is a probably some pinholes in the briar leaking some heat. Smoke slower and not as hot. Change your cadence. If it continues you may need to sand, wood fill and refinish and there are other threads on this site for advice on that issue. Probably birdseye holes.

The green colouration is more than likely stain, not paint but you do have to be gentle. I'd start with a very fine grit like 600 and see how it goes. The idea is to remove the varnish top coat only. Having said this, even if you go through the stain, you can always re-apply a coat of green stain. It's a bit nerve wracking if you've never done it but hey, it's only a pipe
