Yeah I know it's odd to some but I've at least 1/2 dozen Petersons (+ others) that are nicer pipes for some future time when I've got more time, perhaps smoke indoors, and am not wandering around outside in the elements (over 90 on my porch near 8pm) and it's just a more "refined" experience.What does this word “unsmoked” mean? I’m unfamiliar with this concept…
I forget the participants, but believe there was a spirited thread on PM in the last year about cellaring pipes.Just planning ahead to have nice pipes to go with my stored leaf for a time of ease & relaxation that is of a greater depth and quality than I live today... Sort of a "retirement" plan.
That is a great shape, nice find!I'm so jealous of all the POTY posts, but wasn't keen on the price of the smooths. So I bought myself a NOS 2018 POTY instead View attachment 241903
Mark Irwin sent me my Certified Pete Geek Certificate - with the Dove of Peace symbol for "Moderator"!

Ashdigger is such a generous fellow.So knowing my love of all things 9/307 and Shamrock @ashdigger gifted me these two Pre-Republic 9BCs the banded one is the light stain Roger’s import round com version and the other is a Good Health (early filter pipe) Made in London. Both absolutely fantastic pipes 🥹. This is what prompted me to clean up the two System Standards, so I could put all my 9/307 pipes together.
