Again, thank you Jim!
I was among those bugging Laudisi, Shane and Mark (who had a pre-publication Peterson seminar at the 2018 Chicago Show). When Mark had his book release program at the 2019 Chicago Show, I, too, was on his case about helping push this "reissue."
I can't wait to join you, in spirit, with a bowl of Wilke 515 in my new 4AB.

Nooooooo one of my ultimate dream pipes and they are limited? This is the worst best news ever! Anybody want to buy some Dunhills from me to help finance this? ???
Congratulations Jim, it’s great to see a dream come true by the pipe community coming together. You look like a happy man on those photos!
I like the hefty look of the whole Peterson line, and these emphasize that. Sherlock, the mythical pipe smoker, enhances the aura. With EGR, you can smoke a jiminks tobacco in a jiminks pipe.
Nice pipes. Peterson are the best looking pipes out there (with Savinelli).
And nice hat...

FYI, here's a nice affordable leather-bound complete collection of Sherlock Holmes, from Barnes & Noble:
Complete Sherlock Holmes (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions) by Arthur Conan Doyle, Hardcover | Barnes & Noble® (barnesandnoble.com)

One could be forgiven for mistaking you for Peter Sellers in that hat!
Wow, heck of a job of keeping after it, Jim. Patience is its own reward.
Jim,
I must say; that pipe looks good on you.
Enjoy!

I actually found lots of pictures of Rathbone with a bent pipe, but few with this one. Here’s one:
Nice work bringing back an iconic shape back to life Jim. Enjoy yours ?
I most certainly was. M'lady said it was as happy as she has ever seen me when I opened up the box, and pulled out the pipes. I made a big deal of the moment I did the first light to the first smoke in a 4AB. I smoked all three yesterday, and will do that for days and days.
When @shaneireland called me to talk about the pipes, I was so excited that I couldn't sit still while we chatted. I continually walking from one end of the house to the other. I think Shane got a big kick out of my joyous reactions to the news that the 4ABs were soon coming my way. That joy will be long, long lasting. I still find it hard to believe I finally have a 4AB, much less having three. I'd have never expected that in my wildest dreams.
Thank you, and best wishes to you as well.
One of the really cool things about getting the pipes now is that they arrived right before my birthday. Just can't imagine getting better birthday presents, unless it's the key to Fort Knox.
Congrats Jim finally got your pipe 47 years in the making.
