About 30 some of them. Only brand I smoke. Great pipes, but stem can be little off. Other than occasional issue with stems not being straight, no big issues.
Arrived today. The latest addition to my ever growing clan of Petes. A beautifully grained 338 spigot.
Great birdseye!
For some reason Peterson Pipes never appealed to me and now that they do I don't buy pipes any longer.
i have 5 of various shapes and finishes. I also just bought an 80S in the 2022 St. Patrick's Line today. All solid smokers.
At the store I have had to check every single one with a flashlight. Some are up to par for the price, but many are drilled worse than the basket pipes
Some of you may know I primarily smoke bulldogs. Thinking about picking up a straight Billiard.
Any of my fellow Pete geeks have thoughts or opinions on the 107 or x105?

I have at least a dozen Petes. No serious issues and the best are unbeatable smokers.
I like the heft and solid look of Petes. I think I have eight: Two B11 brandy sitters in different finishes; one P-lip in a Killarney 999 Rhodesian; a rusticated slightly bent apple/author K&P; one Belgique Rustique small pipe; an Around the World slightly bent bulldog in a red stain with a thick nickel band commemorating Ireland, my St. Pat's Day pipe; an unfinished (slowly coloring) bent Dublin; and a Donegal B10 bent briar Calabash. No systems, and no high-end Petes, but the ones I have have had no quality problems. Along with my Savs, Johs, and Kaywoodie, I have found Petes to be durable, reliable, and very good to excellent smokers. I'm a drawn to Pete's sturdy look and their balance in hand.
107 appears slightly more “robust” to me - I don’t have either, both are nice - but really like the 107s I see on SP.
Both are slightly smaller (though the 107 is fatter) than the 106 I believe … I love the 106 shape.
I prefer larger pipes, and the 107 fills the bill, the 105 would be the other end of the scale.
If you want a real treat get a straight, normal tenon, plip pipe. They smoke like whoa.
They are very different sizes. The 107 is the largest production straight billiard they make. I was going to collect them, but they only have them in a few lines. The x105 is shorter and more compact, really too small for me (though I have one for quicker smokes). My favorite is the 106, same size bowl as the XL90 bent billiard, so about 0.8" by 1.6". It's between the 107 and x105 in size.
I've got several. You're correct.
Thanks. That confirms what I learned, which is exactly the information I was seeking. Thank you.
One short of a twenty-one day set?
Interesting. I had always thought the 107 was chubbier but actually had a smaller chamber.
Don't the 107 and x105 have the same size chamber, at least by diameter? Maybe I looked at the descriptions too quickly,
This is a beauty, IMO. The Irish Harp is nice, also, but with an acrylic stem and not black.
