It is a nice pipe, light weight.. but as I posted in another place... There are a few pits on the bottom and sides... I guess it gives it "personality"...

Poker Party!
Dudley saw it coming in my LaRocca post.
Figured I ought to have at least one "good" pipe right?
And this makes a nice first choice as a companion to my cobs.
Hard to find. I got the last one @ 4noggins for $57. I tried to convince myself that the rustic finish was good enough. But I couldn't. The smooth just got me in the gut. Been doing a lot of browsing and this is the first pipe that I really loved.
I won't see any communication directed to me here. I'm no longer active at this forum.Posted 1 year ago # -

I did some trading with a member of another forum and ended up with this 1982 Mark Twain by Peterson's:
A prevoius owner ground the bottom of the P-lip away and there is a dent in the rim about 1/16" deep. It didn't respond to steam so I guess sandpaper is next. Shulte's Pipe Service has a stem.
I only had $45 in the 314 Premier I used in the trade so I can afford to spend a little on this one.The first bowl of G&H Balck XX was as sweet a smoke as I've had in a long time.
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.Posted 1 year ago # -
Nice pick ups Jonesing and Chuck!

Here is a picture of three new pipes I just bought from Pipesandcigars.com.

Went on bender did ya! TAD & PAD all at the same time...of course I can find no fault in that!
Nice!Posted 1 year ago # -
Yeah, I hope this will keep me content for a little while. I have a hard time convincing my wife that I need more tobacco. She thinks I should smoke everything till it's gone before I buy more.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I am quite lucky in the fact that my wife has no say in the matter (separate bank accounts). I've never had her say anything about tobacco (of course I don't have all that much anyway), but on occasion she looks at the pipe collection and asks "when did you get this/these one/ones". I just smile and respond "oh...a little while ago"
I have been making a point recently of actually going through and smoking each pipe in my collection. She asked me last night if I was "taking each one for a test drive". LOL

Sapo,
Let me know how that clay smokes... and by the way, nice pick up's again!
Posted 1 year ago # -
Thanks Phil, I hope it smokes well, the air hole is kinda small but I'll let you know how it smokes.

Jonesing: I've been smitten by the pic of your new tankard!
I read on another forum that it is a very light-weight pipe...yes/no?
You fired it up this morning...What do you think so far?
What about the p-lip? I've never owned a Peterson, but seem to remember having read mixed reviews about the p-lip stem.Posted 1 year ago # -
I like it.
Yeah amazingly light weight.
And it smokes great. I was a bit alarmed at first because I thought it was smoking wet. But it was user error. I have freshly opened Irish Flake and I didn't dry it long enough.
2nd bowl with adequately dried Union station smoked like a charm.
Important to know though that this is a smaller poker. Which is one of the reasons I bought it. I figured it would make a great "public pipe" meaning a great pipe to stick in a pocket, very sweet looking, nice and light, a bit understated etc.
It's not tiny. Smaller chamber diameter (approx 60mm???) but it's pretty tall and I got a good hour smoke out of it this evening. That included a few pauses talking to the wife and some relights etc. And I smoked it clear to the bottom to get the heel since it's new.
And so far I love the P Lip. I really noticed a difference. The smoke hits the roof of your mouth not your tongue. Notable impact on bite and even the little nips that I find almost always show up here and there.
I also was glad to see you can run a cleaner up the mouth piece while smoking. The hole is big enough.
So I'm pleased. It's not a kick back and watch a movie for a couple hours pipe. But it looks to be a great one for a 30-45 minute smoke and to take with you out and around when you might find time for a little quicker smoke.

Damn it...this stupid PAD! It's never gonna stop!
I have nearly convinced myself that I NEED one of these:
- Peterson Tankard
- Peterson Barrel
- Tsuge Tankard

I was wondering if that was possible. Congrats on one of your first briars turning out to be one you really like.

Bytor, I like the top pipe... Reminds me of mine...
Posted 1 year ago # -
Bytor,
I was eyeballing the Tsuges at Cup 0' Joes the other day. (Good retailer, but a little pricey.)
My theory is that a Japanese pipe will be made with quality in mind just like a Japanese pen or mechanical pencil. I think the Japanese take their writing instruments seriously and would probably feel the same about a pipe.
If I were to buy one, it'd most likely be one of the naturals that Smokingpipes.com keeps in stock for 2 hours after an update.

Bytor
I also considered.
Savinelli 310 (not this exact one)
Ferndown 3 Star Reo. My fave. Cost won out. Look at that shank and stem.
Stanwell 245 (in feather weight)
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yeah...I'd probably consider the Stanwell. Not sure about the Savinelli. The Erica Fiamma I picked up some time ago left me a bit disappointed.
Seeing as my Stanwell Churchwarden should be arriving tomorrow, I think I might be able to hold off another attack for a little bit
I agree on the price of the Tsuge, Dudley. I think it just grabbed my eye cause it is a bit different!
I've got to stop window shopping! (and find a B&M) HAHAHAHA
Posted 1 year ago # -
Sorry about the edit after your reply hit, Bytor. You posted will I was adding that Ferndown.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Yeah...I noticed that too
That Ferndown is a nice looking pipe...but I've found I prefer the saddle-bit stems over tapers. They just "fit" better.
