I wish you hadnt posted that Al,I ended up browsing and fell for the Amber spigot 999 rhodie

I got my amber spigot from them. Great pipe from a great shop. My 'camera skills' definitely don't do it justice. I had an extra stem made for mine fitted to take a 9mm filter as I smoke 9mm about 80% of the time.
Mine also came with a 'bone extension' that screws into the stem, it's the same sort of thing they have on the top end system pipes but (obviously) made of bone instead of metal. Some had extensions and some didn't.
I nearly went for the 999 shape, it was a toss-up between that or a b10, I love that shape and will definitely own a 999 Pete of some variety one day.
If you missed it here's a link to an article from the Peterson Pipe Notes website that gives some info and history on the amber stems.
There are folks who are passionate about pipes, those who are passionate about selling pipes, and those who are passionate about Peterson pipes. But how many people do you know that comfortably fit…
