Show Off Your Petersons Here!

@Dixie - that XL999 is outstanding. Its not clear to me how long Peterson used the XL999 model, but I don't believe it was long term.
@Dutch65 - Here's a shot of that restored Panel, a pre-Republic K Briar, a beautiful Pete!

Oh, my heavens! My PAD quotient just went up several points, and I am scared. Here's why: in two days I will be browsing their shop in Dublin. And free the next day for more of the same. Can I limit myself to one or two?? I find I don't like to buy new pipes online as much as I did, so this is a great opportunity to see, feel, weight, and plumb a bunch of gorgeous pipes. I just need to stick to my guns and buy one pipe per city visited. But I could buy two here, as I didn't find anything in Paris I liked.
I have two Arans, bent billiards, natural-ish finish, and one billiard I bought 50 years ago. (And beat on ashtrays in my youthful exuberance).
BTW, the factory tour won't happen, as they close down completely a few days before Christmas into the new year. Darn.

@jpmcwjr - Please post some pictures of your shop experience and good luck selecting the right pipe...s! Check out the Peterson video I just posted, it will whet your appetite!

Beautiful stuff, folks! Happy Holidays to you all! I finally got to open and admire my new Sherlock this morning. Had to get out some silver polish to remove a serious layer of tarnish. Looks stunning now. Here's a to great 2016. Bear with me - might take me a few tries to get the image working correctly.

My Peterson Christmas gift, an unsmoked Supreme XL90. This one was sold by Mark Irwin and will be in his upcoming Peterson book for the example of that shape. This is my first Supreme. The wife got me the socks, they made me laugh!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Great pipe, and good luck with the socks! Cute, though.
Perfect proxy for my factory tour which won''t be happening, and interesting to know the store moved from its earlier location.

 

[jaydublin]

Wow! That Supreme is gorgeous!

Peterson's Captain Pete XL80,Finished her up this afternoon.

 

[gambit88]

My first Peterson. A Republic era 303.

 

[bentmike]

Beautiful Petersons everyone! My latest Pete -Tan Spigot 03.

 

[gloucesterman]

This Captain Pete is a perfect pocket pipe. At 5.5 inches it fits into the breast pocket of my fishing shirt with nothing hanging out to catch on things. Smokes well too.

This is my first Pete. A Dracula 68. I got this at my local brick and mortar around Halloween last year (2015), as they were having a special on these. Yes, the drilling is a little off on mine, as some others have mentioned. But no regrets here. It smokes great and I love it! So much so that I'm thinking about getting another Pete soon. And when I'm smoking it I like to pretend I'm Irish and say "Pee-tarr-sun" over and over again. ::

A handsome little sandblasted apple from alpascia.com. Lightweight and easy draw, I'm liking it so far.

'80 De Luxe 9S

'81 11S

And because The Hound of the Baskervilles was the first SH I read as a kid, a '91 Baskerville showed up in the post today:

 

[davet]

My latest arrived today, Captain Pete. It's not a real big difference in length than my others but a drastic change in the look. I like it :mrgreen:

 

[gloucesterman]

Love Captain Petes. I have two and wouldn't part with them for the world. Enjoy.
