Seek Larger Peterson.

Original: Help me with my next (larger) Peterson

I just bought my first new, in the box, sock and all, Peterson. After lots of perusin', I set to choosin', and I got a lovely Christmas 2023 model 230, sandblast. To me it's the perfect full bent shape.

But it's little.

I'm a good sized guy, with big hands, and it looks like a kid's toy. I'll keep it and use it certainly, but I'd like to get another one that has generally larger dimensions. Any ideas?



I'm considering the 314 - I believe it's larger than the 317. And what about the full bent House Pipe? It also has wonderful shape and conformation.

I'm normally a Neerup or a Bent Bulldog guy, but I have several of those and would like to branch out.

Many thanks for your help.

Try the 307, pub pipe or the house pipe. Enjoy your new pipe!

I've got a B42 Christmas 2023 that I rather enjoy. Maybe a better size for you.

 

[PaulRVA]

B42 or a XL315 get my votes.

I believe thats (230) the smallest pipe bowl size they make.

Peterson. Size and Volume Overview. :: Pipe Talk

Now that Peterson has a nice new and informative website I took the opportunity to create a simple chart shoving the chamber sizes of the models of the Peterson System Standard range. This to help myself get a better overview of how the models relate to one and other. Being a lunter I included...

Not to split hairs but that's 1/2 bent.

Get yourself a pub pipe.

 

[bullet08]

Go with the House Pipe, if the Pub Pipe doesn't do it for you.

 

[rmcnabb]

Thanks very much for the advice. I never was an Oom Paul guy so it looks like a House pipe might fill the size and style.

It does smoke a bit differently though ... like a reverse calabash ... more of a sipping pipe than a fast train to Clarksville.

Peterson Pub and House pipes are their largest pipes with the B42 & 9S/307 coming in second. the 11S is also fairly good sized.

Yep, House and Pub pipes are big, but I find there is a lot of gurgle. My go-to on any new pete line is looking for the Darwin B42 shape.

 

[Hillcrest]

I have been looking at b42s lately. As for gurgle ... it goes away in 6-10 smokes once the pipe is broken in per Peterson Pipe Notes interviews I read about pub and house pipes.

 

[RL Bucktails]

Maybe an XL 315

 

[hakchuma]

Try the Peterson Watson from the Sherlock Holmes selection. Large and bent like that

 

[irishearl]

Judging from the Petes I own and, if you're looking for longer smokes. of course I'd go with pub and house pipes. But, also find that my deluxe system pipes, the 4s, 11s, and 9s, give comparably long smokes, probably longer than my B42 system spigot. However, my actual Darwin standard gives a longer smoke than the B42
