Favorite Peterson Series

Since we have a favorite Peterson pipe, what's your favorite Peterson Series? For style, color, other things.

Mine is the River Series for the coloring and special shapes.  Will try and find a picture to post.

I have two ... the Dracula series and the limited edition Jekyll & Hyde.

Also absolutely love the Sherlock Holmes series - both 1 & 2 ... and think the sets look fantastic in the Pipe Racks that came with them, but know I could never afford that entire collection. And wouldn't just want one or two from the set.

Unfortunately I don't own a Peterson but I love the aesthetics of the Dracula series.

I'm a big fan of the Donegal Rocky series. I love rusticated pipes, and they feel great in the hand with the rustication acting as a natural grip. I'm also fond of the Wicklow series for similar reasons, though I haven't seen many Wicklows online as of late.

I really enjoy my Peterson pipes mine are mainly estate but if I could choose a new pipe from one of the series I like the Shannon series for the color and the grain along with the Craftsman series I think they both look great and some of the shapes are cool as well.

Any Pete's from the Pre-Republic period, between 1915 and 1949.

The only Peterson I have is a System 302 rusticated that I like quite a bit, but as far as my favorite shape I'd probably have to say either the 999 with an army or spigot mounted stem or the 80s with army or spigot mounted stem.

I do like the Donegal Rocky series, I only have a Rocky 505, a 312 and 314 Meerschaums, a Barrel, a Dublin Churchwarden, Bent Kildare and a massive 65 with a 7/8"X2" bowl.

Note to @ghostsofpompeii -- There's a Mrs. Hudson's pipe!!!!

For those not familiar with the Peterson brand (or its Sherlock Holmes series of pipes):

The above illustration raises a question in my mind: "Beeswax lined bowl" ????????

My favorites would be pretty much any of the silver rim/caps and/or amber stems in the light stain.  I still NEED a silver lid Pete🙂

Although I normally don't like flashy looking pipes, I have this Rosslare Royal Irish that I just love. The whole series is really nice!

I have a few Peterson's, a Killarney  XL 90, 2 system 303s, one silver cap system spigot and the other rusticated, I do love the  303s.

The Sherlock Homes series and Jeckel Hyde are awesome, also the Kenmare series and I still want to get one of the Racing Green pipes.

I really like the Sherlock Holmes collection. I just smoked my Baskerville last week. Very well built  pipe.

Bradley (at StuffAndThings on Youtube) reports receiving a missive from one Lena Jensen, Communication Consultant at STG, confirming that the Peterson/Dunhill relaunch blends, already available in Europe, will be available in the US, "....by the end of 2019."

Hallelujah!

While I love all the Peterson series of pipes, the Rosslare has won me over as my favorite. It caught my eye at the shop, and I had to walk away with one. I do like the Irish Harp and Ebony pipes, too, and hope to add them to my collection. A Mycroft is also on my eventually to buy list.

Any way you shake it, you can't go wrong with at Pete.
