Peterson's Tara Line: Tell Me More

[mikethompson]

My goodness, as soon as it was here it was gone. If one of you guys bought it, thank you. I can't afford another pipe right now. But it looks incredible to me, plus the name has some special meaning for me.
I thought I wasn't going to look for anymore pipes, but then these came along.

Peterson Tara

The Peterson 2017 Summertime pipe reminds you of the sunset on a hot summer’s day. A warm acrylic mouthpiece is simply complimented by a soft brown sandblast finish. The sun engraved on the nickel band perfects the look of summer.

With an MSRP of $112.00 I'd put it in line with the lower midrange Petersons. Not a bad looking pipe though. And I love that stem. If they had them in smooth finishes I'd probably be adding one to my collection.
Edit to add: I don't know, after looking at it some more, I could live with the blasted finish.
Edit to add again: Oh look I found some at Cup o Joes. MSRP is actually $140 but they're selling them for $112. https://www.cupojoes.com/pipes/peterson/tara/

Thanks Anthony, I did come across them on cupojoes. They are still a little out of my price range but some of those shapes would be welcome on my rack for sure.

Too bad there's not a 106, or I'd maybe add one to my 106 collection. I could use another XL90 though, so perhaps.

 

[mikethompson]

I'd be happy with most of those shapes, but a 106 would be nice. That B10 is interesting.. I've never heard of this line until now.

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

I agree. The B10 is a nice shape, one I often look at, but for some reason have never added to my collection.

 

[mikethompson]

Well it is one for me to keep my eye on, that's for sure.

I have too many Petes to keep smoked as it is, but this one is a beauty, and it's priced reasonably. I like the rustication, the wide band, and of course especially that amber-ish stem. Pete knows how to pluck the male heartstrings.

I have become a fan of the 80s shape. My most recent new pipe is a Peterson Fermoy 80s with a vulcanite stem. I'm seriously considering having an acrylic stem made for it though.

 

[mikethompson]

That 80s has a nice flow to it, I think accentuated by the stem colours.

Those are some nice looking pipes and priced reasonably, so far haven't seen these being available in Europe but I'd think they are somewhere.
