What? These sold out in one day? They made 80 of them. Wish I hadn't hesitated. These blasts, in my opinion, are better than most Shells today.

I would have loved to have acquired one as well, but finances didn’t allow for it at the time. Very beautiful pipes!
didn't see what i wanted. but their new sandblasted finish is better than before. saw some system standard with nice sandblast.
I picked this up a month ago. Haven't smoked it yet, but if it smokes anything like the smooth version I have I'll be happy. Probably going to dedicate this one to VA's as my other is for Va/Pers. Seems fitting. I was thinking about picking up a rusticated version but the finish is so similar I don't think there is much difference to warrant another 317 purchase of negligible aesthetic nature. However, I would like to buy a deluxe version of this, which I believe is the 12.5s shape.
The good news, from what I’ve gathered after seeing SP’s video on the anniversary release, is that all of Peterson’s blasts will be upgraded from now on. So we can expect to see a lot more great blasts from the brand!
Most of those anniversary pipes were dead sexy. I was shocked to see them sell out so fast, too. I wasn’t in the market for another pipe, and I don’t even know if I would’ve paid for another Peterson, but they look reeeeal nice. Gorgeous ring grain on those new blasts. Any forum members snag one? Interested to hear how they smoke.
I've been pleased with my Petes over the years, about eight of them. A limited edition that sold out so fast might not interest me, since I deliberate on buying a pipe for weeks, months. But I like the looks of them, essential design of the classic Pete.
I was blown away that they sold all 80 in one day. They were $200 to $300 each!
I have to say I don’t understand the draw. The shapes were all standard Peterson shapes that you could buy any day of the week, weren’t they? The stain is all black, so you don’t see the wood grain or contrast. Is it just that they had that sandblast pattern? Is that sandblast pattern special in some way?
they are all silver spigot with new sandblast. the grains are more pronounced unlike their older sandblast that looked like prune. don't get me wrong, some of their old sandblast doesn't look that bad.
Old Sandblast?
I would have bought one of the SPC pipes but I didn’t see the Original email and when I saw them all were sold.

I thought they were gorgeous. Would have been interested, but not in my budget at the moment. I'd really like a spigot at some point. Probably will get a good ole' estate at somepoint or maybe take advantage of a big sale
Goes to show the strong attraction Peterson pipes still command among many.
Same. I found them to be very unattractive. The black stain cheapens the look somehow. A warm brown would have highlighted the blast as well as shown off the underlying grain.
I certainly prefer brown blasts over black.
Yea those pipes were slick. Sadly by the time they came to my attention they were already sold out! Feels like a recurring theme in this hobby... ?
