Happy Saint Patty's Day!

I think it was no coincidence that will driving to work early this morning enjoying my pipe- Peterson Wicklow- that I remembered it was Saint Patricks Day.

Now usually I smoke a Pete on this day, and usually a racing green dublin, but today's Pipe was great.

What are the odds that the Pete would come in to play on this day? *

* Actually they are fairly high since the proportion of Petes in my Rotation is fairly high only being edged out by my selfmades which are special to me.

Happy Saint Patricks Day!

Subject: Follow-up response received this morning (regarding fills):

Thank you for your reply of 5th February.

By way of background, we have hundreds of different pipe shapes and from say 100 pieces of shapes, say 03, 3-5 pieces would be deemed "fill free". These special pieces would then be finished with the following series: Straight Grains Supremes - Silver and Gold Mounted

In addition the following series could have small root marks but no putty, namely :- De Luxe System De Luxe Classic Army Spigot Celtic Natural Rosslare Natural Grafton Hinged Lip Cap Natural Silver Caps

I trust the above information is of some help and wish you many hours of smoking pleasure.


Kind regards,

Review: Peterson Deluxe

LatakiaLover Knoxboard Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 1:26 pm

Post subject: New Peterson Deluxe -- impressions

Most of you already have several Petersons, so don't need to hear what they "are." Thought you might be interested in an old high-grade collector's impressions, though, since this was/is my first one ever.

Construction/engineering/workmanship: Outstanding. A very pleasant surprise. Everything carved & drilled spot-on and aligned, silver work excellent, finish very good, and the often maligned Spanish briar is outstanding. My specimen would easily be graded a Castello Pernice-Watchamacallit.

Design: Balance is odd (stem heavy), and bit is thick and chunky.

Smoking quality (taste/burn/etc.): Excellent. The same sort of dry-coolness I've only experienced with gourd calabashes and churchwardens. Flavor is fine for a new pipe.

Smoking quality (ergonomics): As a "mouth holder," poor. I was bummed by this at first, hoping for something that felt more like a Dunhill 120, since the shape and size are virtually identical. Then I shifted mental gears and decided to use the pipe in the same way as a calabash, churchwarden, or Charatan Extra Large. Meaning, as a "hand holder" while reading. Approached that way, all balance and bit issues disappear.

NOTE: Regarding wood quality---the outstanding grain and no fills---MIGHT have something to do with my specimen being a new-old-stock pipe from 1989. No idea if Peterson's current production is as good. Regarding the good first-bowl taste, know that I heeded the many cautions I received about Peterson's dip staining, and so scrubbed the bowl repeatedly (as hard as I could) with a cloth wrapped finger wet with Everclear. Every 30 minutes or so, until NO stain came off on cloth. Took quite a while, maybe 8-10 repetitions. I also thoroughly wiped the system chamber and draft hole, and soaked the aluminum thingie before using. Seemed to be a bit of rubbing compound in and around the plumbing.

Conclusion: There's not a damn thing wrong with this pipe. Nothing at all. Those who malign the brand because they're made by the million using machines, are either dead wrong, IMO, or my specimen is a freak... I like it a LOT, and the pipe I smoked immediately before this one was a custom Butera. For the $127 it cost, the bang for the buck is the best I've ever seen for a new pipe. Just callin' it the way I see it (and I'll never do otherwise!)
