My second go on a Peterson, ordered a Deluxe Classic Terracotta 150. The first Peterson i've got I couldn't agree with, but that one found a loving home instead of not being smoked.

I don't think I posted this 999 Shamrock, a 2021 restoration. I've amassed a small group of pipes at my daughters home in Lousiana, where we travel often. I got tired of transporting pipes on the plane, so this is one that will live in the swamp.
I thought some of you might've missed this in the May 2022 *What Are You Smoking?* thread a couple of days ago, so, I thought I would post this here. Here's a Peterson Clay System Bent Billiard Shape 8 (similar to a 313) with an orific bit, not a P-Lip. The nickel band is seamless, so this clay pipe is from sometime after 1963 and was probably made in Scotland by Duncan McDougall.
I don't recall ever having seen a Peterson clay pipe - awesome!
just bought this beauty from mkelaw pipes,thanks Dave
Peterson 80s natural spigot

I was eyeing that thing up something fierce. Cool that it went to a forum member. Hope she’s a great smoker… stunning pipe ?
I picked up a Phoenix 221 from The Pipe Nook last week. 
Nice! I also have a Phoenix 221. Have you ordered from Eddie Gray in the past?
I don’t know if this is here or not. An 1898 Patent Bulldog
I saw it when first posted here but wasnt in the position to pull the trigger.
I was surprised to see it wasnt sold when I looked again last week
As was I! I have yet to own an 80S, and a Natural Spigot? That's the leap into the deep end of that shape, enjoy it!
I bought a natural spigot 80s with amber stem from the UK about 2=3 years ago.unfortunately it never got to me.
Ok I was refunded but would have much rather have had the pipe.
i assume some pipe smoking postal worker has it now
according to Dave the pipe I just bought is also drilled correctly.I think the higher you go in the prices the more likely you are to get a good one.
however I havent had many poor ones,but most of my collection of Petes are older pipes (pre republic or earlier) or higher grade
My first time. I will definitely be doing more business with him. The pipe is beautiful and smokes great.
Having the first bowl in the new Phoenix, courtesy of influencers above!
I was a little on the fence because I was taken with the pics on The Pipe Nook website, but noticed the stem is quite a bit more orange in reality. The more I thought about it, the more I liked it better and it's a really cool looking pipe in person. I'm thinking fiery sunset on the west coast of Ireland - nobody tell me different, lol. Did my customary hot paper towel wipe, a little sandpaper - nothing comes between me and my Petersons!

I got my Peterson Deluxe Classic 150 in. I tried to disassemble it and the stem won't come loose. It's even that tight that I'm scared to snap it with to much pressure (happened to me once, although the shank was thinner on that one) and even doubt that it's fit for disassembling. Anyone got ideas? Didn't try to freeze it yet.
Two things: drip alcohol around the stem/stummel connection. Or...(perhaps easier) just stick it in the freezer for ten minutes.
