In 1986, my wife gave me a Peterson Dublin Churchwarden as a birthday gift. It was my first Peterson pipe, my first Churchwarden, and it became a treasured old friend. Besides being regularly smoked, mostly McClelland Tastemaster, it was the first pipe in which I had tried Frog Morton on the Bayou. Quite a few fond memories were attached to the pipe.
Lisa passed away in 1991. I would smoke it and remember times we spent together.
I lost that pipe during the move back to New Orleans after living 13 years in North Texas, in 2005.
A few weeks ago, I won an older production Peterson Churchwarden at auction, from a seller in Glascow, Scotland. It arrived today.
Taking it out of the package was like being reunited with a lost child for me. Coincidently, I found the pipe and bid on it right after Lisa's birthday.
A few years ago, I had bought a new production Pete Churchwarden, but it wasn't close to the one I lost. This pipe from Scotland could have been it's twin.
Once I clean it up, I plan on smoking some 12 year old Frog Morton on the Bayou that I have been saving for a special occasion.
