    Up with What are You Lighting ?

    Vertigo it looks like to me. I've gone through 1 after about 1 years use, and the piezoelectric ? component seems to have given out? Haven't taken it apart to see if I can fix. I've a 2nd one that is now getting close to the same in use-years and it's still holding on. I think I have 2 more in a...

    Any Experience with These Petersons ?

    Looks like a place I might be able to ask a Pete question without it being in the wrong thread?? I would like to know when the System Deluxe line was introduced? I have already attempted to look up on as many sites as came up in my search and find nothing. In fact, had some AI (BS) at the top...

    Any Experience with These Petersons ?

    Reasonable question. I'm interested in seeing replies. But one may do well to distinguish between "quality" and "beauty", as they may very well not be the same.

    Yes but no P-lips.

    Is This Mold?

    My vote is no. I'd likely not even have noticed it and probably combusted it already. And my opinion is meaningless in your world.

    I see that one has no rustication so mine is even more of a 2nds line... I won't buy more though - I'm really that enamored with the P-lip that I don't intend to purchase anything else for now.

    Only one I have of that shape and I'm not sure I've even seen any other ones?

    A) It was likely a flaw that needed covering B) I don't mind it personally, I think it was a secondary line. Price was probably reasonable. C) I often prefer a little texture under the fingers D) I don't expect it on higher grade / costlier pipes

    82s About 4 years ago. One of my earlier pipe acquisitions in the overall scheme of things. I didn't even know it was a Peterson in the beginning - it was just another pipe in a shape I liked. I would prefer a P-lip but it got me on the path. My 2nd was likely a 314.

    Coatings on Chinese Pipes

    I prefer to utilize pipes made of wood I know are acceptable for the purpose, and from makers I know have good intentions of honesty and integrity. I avoid those that I suspect may not fall into that category. Make of that what you will.

    For at least the last year, maybe more, I've only bought Petes. And most of them I love. But I'm really not trying to be a collector and am just about ready to eliminate the ones that don't perform the way I prefer and prioritize function over beauty & variety. Meaning I'm considering selling /...

    Jim's C&D Steamworks Small Batch 2024 Review.

    Sounds like what I'm liking lately. I've got a "sleeve" of them on the way. 1 for soon, others for later.

    Thoughts on a Second Pipe

    I have 3 and thought I'd get 4 as I have a special rack for 4 churchwardens... But I hardly ever utilize them. Then again, I'm hardly ever sitting... it might be different if I was sitting with a book indoors...
