Just finished my 1st bowl of Boswell Northwoods in my Pete 221 and my thoughts are why haven’t I been smoking this, good stuff

Hi @attic_piper, it's frustrating that a good-looking pipe just doesn't smoke right
Have you checked the drilling? My only 'real Peterson' also gurgles, no matter what tobacco I put in. I've found that the drilling is approximately 2mm higher from the chamber bottom. On the other hand, I have an Irish Second, and it's a great smoker.

I checked it out and it looks pretty flush with the bottom of the bowl. If I ever get a thick enough layer of cake on it maybe it'll help out with the gurgle. It also started oxidizing within the first week of purchase :'). Thanks for the heads up, I'd never heard of Irish Seconds, though the prices are a bit steeper than what I expected from the name.

I might just skip the Irish Seconds and pick a Peterson now, but it was my second month since I start smoking pipes, I wasn't ready for a pipe over $100 and there's a $50 good looking Irish Seconds on sale.
In results, I'm very happy with the purchase and keeping it in my regular rotation.

Way back in September (Saturday) I enjoyed Oriental Silk in a Peterson Star 312.
Relaxing after a days work on the property - sometimes it seems I work harder on the wknd.
I did not jump on the trampoline at that time...

A little potpourri - the last of a jar of rougaroux and another of rhythm and blues in my J Mouton. Looking for the Brewers to play deep into October.

Good afternoon. Before lunch, I'm smoking the first third of mb, scottish mixture, in a MM General bent. It's a hellish summer day today, wind blowing from the east. My friend, the computer guy, repaired my stinky old computer. I lost a hard drive with a lot of data on it, though. To hell with it. Glad to be here with you again. God bless you.
