Pictures of The Peterson Christmas Pipe 2020

I've been looking for info on the 2020 Christmas Petes for a few weeks now and couldn't find anything. I just checked again and found EA Carey (US) had a page selling them.
They look very nice.

I like that B10

I like that B10

I have a b10 in another finish, it's a lovely shape, the bowl is conical.

As an aside, I was looking at last years Christmas Petersons that are still available to buy over here in the UK. I noticed that in America they had a copper covered nickel ferrule but in England they are solid silver.
I wonder why that was?

Peterson has been doing a good job with the finish combination on these special releases.

Yeah, I don’t know. I love the look of copper, but I would’ve preferred solid copper to plating or copper wash.

I like the blast finish and copper band. I think those will sell well. They'll look good any time of year.

Looks like last years christmas pipe. I like it.

I believe they couldn't do that because solid copper would possibly crack the shank because it expands and retracts too much.

cheeky bastards basically the same as last years with a black bowl...I'm starting to rethink collecting one from every year...

I kind of like the 406.

Maybe so. As long as it doesn’t polish right off after a few years, it’d be ok. That would be my concern with it.

I like the B10 I have, the Calabash shape and the nice balance in hand.

Agreed, hopefully they made it a thick layer.

It's a great shape to look at and hold.

Yeah I agree. I wish they'd mix it up a bit more like in previous years.

Definitely like 2013 the best.

Definitely like 2013 the best.

The 2015 & 2016 are my favourites. I was looking at getting a 2016 from Italy (can't get them in England anymore) but it costs over a £130 with p&p.

The last 3 years have all been quite similar, I wish they would mix it up like they used to. Still a lovely looking pipe this year though.
