Peterson's New Line is Made from Particle Board?

Not particle board, Brylon.

Hey, careful what you say.

Just smoked my Brylon pipe (bought in the early 1970s)
yesterday.
BLOCK meerschaum lined, no less

This is the one that got me and I still wish it actually existed:

85. The New Trom Dubh Collection: A Heavy Metal Quartet

Along with other new lines and collections that will soon be available, Peterson has just announced a mid-grade set, the Trom Dubh (which in Irish means “chubby black”). Where to begin? The first c…

Good try! Knowing it was you, and the date is was posted, I did not click but thought of clicking for a couple of seconds

Well I’ve heard of people sniffing glue and being that MDF and particle board use a large quantity of glue I suppose you can smoke it too.

I was actually hopeful that Peterson had upped their quality. Maybe one day.

 

[Razorback]

Welp, I fell for it also. Well done!

Recently purchased a new Peterson Prince from one of our esteemed online vendors. Lines looked great in the photos, with a nice golden/honey stain.

While I was giving it a more detailed look in the bowl, I noticed something off with the graining, and poked at it. I'm pretty sure this is MDF, or particle board or something.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Am I over reacting?

Darn it! I can think of several smart-ass things I could post in this thread, but I'm afraid the Peterson fans would come after me....

I kept seeing this thread but never clicked on it. When I’d see the title, I just thought, “that explains their rustication,” and passed it by.

Brylon, gone but not forgotten. A few members with dusty gritty work situations like them because you can wash them in a bucket and they're no worse for the wear. I think that synthetic was introduced in the sixties, and they were around at low prices for decades. They were heavy for their size, and hot to the touch, but always had a few devotees.

I was tempted, just because they were unique and cheap, but with briars, clays, cobs, Mountain Laurels, and a Meer, I thought it would never get smoked and wouldn't resell for fifteen cents. I didn't think it would make a gift unless I wanted to dissuade someone from pipe smoking.

Makes me remember "The Pipe", that I tried back in the late 60's. Yuk!!!
