Show Off Your Petersons Here!

Usually hot water and little wads of paper towel. Scrunch up into a little ball, get hot water on it (not soaking or dripping), twist in the bowl a couple of times and repeat. I’ve used sandpaper sparingly for stain if there is a little at the top of the bowl, and if there is a bit of stubborn coating, but the paper towels usually do the trick. When they come out white instead of black you’re done!

That's exactly what I do. I just did it to this Peterson Emerald 104. Just wet paper towels until it's clean. Now I'm smoking some Erinmore Flake.

One of my first Petersons. Several more racked up. A few more still in boxes.

That sounds easier than I’d previously thought, thanks! I’ll have to give it a try.

That’s a beautiful pipe and a beautiful yard at golden hour.

I’m curious—do you happen to own a Peterson 15 or 102 as well? And if so, how do they compare in size to your new 104?

I own and love the 15 and 102 shapes for clenching. I’ve seen those 104 models listed with a description noting that its size is closest to the 102, and I’ve wondered if it’s smaller or bigger.

No, I do not have a 15 or a 102. Sorry, I can't give a comparison.

My first Peterson: the Irish Harp 150 Fishtail Bulldog.
Loaded up with some Embarcadero that I just stuffed in a few hours ago to dry out while I was busy. Really just got it because of the neat Sherlock tamper that came along with the little SP special that they're running. Been wanting a Peterson, now I have one. Slainte!

Second of the recent 68s on maiden voyage. Arklow No. 68. I like every Peterson I own, all have their strong points, but with the second No. 68 in hand and in use, I’m very close to believing I’ve really found my favorite, most natural feeling shape.

I love that smooth rim contrasting with the sandblast. Enjoy!

I ended up with four Arlows and really enjoy each of them

Wow Ash, that's incredible, I wish those could talk! The stamping looks like it was done yesterday. Good job keeping that one in service!

Talk about a generous gift!

Got gifted a couple of lovely Peterson’s from my mate on the south coast @Birddog66 . An older Donegal Rocky bulldog & a system 312. The bulldog has already established itself as a new favourite.

Also got another Peterson, a gift to & from myself this time. A 20s with a replacement vulcanite stem.

I love that older style Peterson rustication. I’m a fan of the new style as well when done in a visually organic way, but that old pebble style just looks so natural.

I like your background too!

I’m a big 20s fan. Where did you get the B style tapered replacement stem? Very cool.

If it was done yesterday it wouldn't be near as deep...

Does the Arklow line come with a bowl coating?
