Given that it's currently taking about 44 days for pipes to reach me after SPC post them I sure hope Peterson get the Christmas pipes out soonish.
Going going fast...but I'm sure there will be several more restocks and the other big sites will get them soon. Last year mine came from Tobacco Pipes. I was actually just smoking my 2020 614 about an hour and a half ago.
They've already sold out once and were restocked last Thursday. There will be leftovers, they often have them from previous years.
That was my thinking, but I’m not sure if they’ll make as many. I have no reason to think they won’t, but these days it seems nothing is very certain. I hate panic buying, but I grabbed one after that first restock.
The dark stain is staying my hand. Were it not for that, the 616 would be my choice of the lot.
Same sentiment on the dark stain. I’m hoping they’re a little lighter than the picture. Last year’s looked darker in the photos than in person, I’m hoping that’s the case here as well.
It looks almost black in person… the pic above (post#62) is a good representation of color. Although, the stem is more translucent at different angles.
Still a very good looking pipe, though I would’ve preferred a lighter shade on the stummel.
I like stems like that. The airway will darken over time and tge contrast is quite striking.
It’d be interesting to know the design process in deciding a color palette. I like below description, and when first seeing the pipe it made sense:
“A stem of shimmering, conifer green complements the earthy tones of the stummel, while a snow-white acrylic band flanked by brass rings adds striking flash for an aesthetic that's at once eye-catching and comforting — the combination evocative of sunlight's glint on snow-laden pines.”

I may be in the minority, but I'm disappointed with them after seeing them in person. The stem is much much darker than I anticipated. I mostly smoke indoors under artificial light. In that environment it looks black. The sides have a pearlescent quality that I wish the entire stem had.
In sunlight it looks much better oh, but I don't smoke outside in daylight so I would never get the pleasure of that appearance.
I'm going to be sending mine back.
The first two pics are in a well lit room but all light is artificial (bulbs). Second 2 pics are on window sill

I was just going to string one and put it on the Christmas tree.
That’s the word I was searching for… pearlescent, which definitely pops more in the sunlight.
