@Zouave1864 Yes, I tried. The shape does not really trip my trigger, but it did trip my P.P.A.D., just for the fact that it’s a POY. I still would have bought a Smooth Natural, a Rua, or “Nekid” sandblast, but they were all gone within 10 minutes of the drop at SPC. I‘m very picky, and I just didn’t have enough time to sus out a good one…..when I did and thought about pressing the “buy” button on a Rua several times, the pipe would already be gone. I tried 3-4 times then there were no more that had grain that was acceptable to me. The prices were kinda high anyway. I still have the 2023 “Peterson Pipe Notes” (PPN) limited edition pipe pre-ordered. Oh to have unlimited funds……My “win the lottery” plan is not working out. “Who’d a thunk it?”
@RockyMountainBriar I am on the fence with that shape as well. I may spring for a ebony finish one because like you said it's the pipe of the year. I feel like I need @vtgrad2003 to talk me out of it with some good old-fashioned Peterson bashing.
@Zouave1864 LOL Here, I’ll try to help😉…….Peterson’s suck, they are made by cross-eyed Leprechauns with hatchets made of rocks, and drills like corkscrews. To stain the pipe bowls they just drop them in a cast iron pot of bog water (you know, like where they keep their gold) and stir them around a bit. If they want a contrast stain, they stuff them up in their chimneys for awhile, like they do with a traditional shillelagh, before the pot stir swamp water dunk.😬
@Zouave1864 Thanks for the spoiler…I won’t be getting that one. It’s definitely not in my wheelhouse….unless they make it in a 53 Lovat, which I doubt, that might trigger my P.P.A.D. I do like the double beaded silver band though.
