Show Off Your Petersons Here!

Here's an 1896 Patent shape 18 that is almost finished - still need to touch up the rim. I figured I would have a stem that fit it, but was pleasantly surprised that my 1902 amber p-lip worked - not the perfect diameter and p-lips weren't patented until 1898, but it's still getting smoked this way for now.

Looks 100% appropriate!

Thanks - you're helping reduce my post-purchase cognitive dissonance!

Pretty sure that Canadians smooth unsmoked natural Plateau is still available

And I still want it! Just have to pace myself. Lol. Plus, I think that same Canuck has some awesome stuff on ebay right now as well....

Christmas 2023 B42. Any idea why the red-ish stain looks green under certain lighting?

My first (and only) Peterson. A Fermoy B10. Bought new at a local B&M a few months ago but it looks like it had been on the shelf for a while. It doesn’t appear that the Fermoy line is made any more which is a shame because it’s beautiful! Smokes wonderfully too. There will definitely be more Petersons in my future.

Alright. Which one of you beautiful Pete Geeks nabbed up all of the Peterson Archive B54's?

I didn't take a shot at any of them so don't blame me!

I would've been tempted to try and nab one of those. It seems like they didn't even post them, or if they did they sold out within seconds.

Those got grabbed quick. I went with a B61 and B65.

 

[Revnatorade C.P.G.]

Well, if anyone here bought more B54s than they needed let me know. I will be in the market for one after I take care of a few other pipe aquisitions.

 

[FLDRD]

Not me.
No P-lips on any.

Not me.

That was a detractor for most of them for me.

Only two B54 were available if they were even posted. You’d think Peterson would do better determining market demand but hey they’ve been striking out the past couple of years.

Needless to say there are plenty of rusticated pipes still available. I'm not sure when Laudisi will get the point. Their normal rustication is very ugly and doesn't seem to sell at all. But they keep churning them out.

Agreed, really not keen on this current rustication... I've sold all but one of the pipes I had with that finish.

Gotta agree, as much as I love my Petes and I understand the aesthetic inspiration for this finish as it pertains to Ireland the only two I have in that finish are a 2022 St Patrick's day D20 stacked Billiard and the 308 revival (because it wasn't available in any other finish).

I think it looks great on certain shapes (straight lines) and horrible on others (anything with curves).

I think if they did the rustication in an all black stain it might look better, my 313 system Jekyll and Hyde Halloween pipe looks not too bad with the black rustication.

As for pics of my petes, here are a few from IG posts yesterday when I enjoyed some OGS and my favorite blend, 1792 flake in my two 4s Deluxe systems. One is a birth year, I'll be buried with that pipe.

PS much love to @ashdigger for the zippo, I'll be forever grateful my man and I've definitely not forgoffen to always pay it forward

PPS the Shillelagh tamper is another pipe related item I'll never part with.

That tamper is freakin awesome!

 

[Jon C.P.G.]

That tamper is freakin awesome!

Thanks, it also has a hidden pick inside the tamper is made of morta and the head is briar. Got it from a guy who makes tampers on etsy. I love how it's worked to even have the tiny nubs as a proper blackthorn shillelagh would have from the thorns being cut off.

For real! I've only got one rusticated because I don't really like that color stain. I think black would look so slick.

Started off today with two Petes: Original Sherlock Holmes Deerstalker and a Boyne from the River Collection. Two of my fave pipes. Reminded myself why Star of the East flake is also one of my favorite tobaccos.
