Short Army 102 last year, and still the only pipe (save two mini-meers and a few cobs) the only pipe I’ve bought new.
Since I bough it I’ve gotten four estate Petes.
finally,long wait is over ,got this Irish Harp shape 15 medium billiard yesterday right from Ireland.Very nice and versatile pipe,no flaws detected.
I like the Harp line. They are very pretty pipes.
I finally got the 11S I bought from Simong on here today after it was stuck in customs for a month. I also recently got a Dunmore 73 and a Antique Collection 1909 from 1995.
Jekyll and Hyde B10 in March 2022
Might as well throw them here. The 2 new Pete meers arrived today. Pretty stoked.
Brand new, finally arrived, a Cara 406. Germain Brown Flake is going in that very soon.
Here are six De Luxe Petersons with 'Hand Cut' stems and bone chimneys. Only one has a date hallmark (1971) and only one has an inlaid metal 'P'.
Other side of the rack contains six pipes that might have been created by Paddy Larrigan:
1 - 'Hand Made' house pipe with aluminum 'P' and straight grain on the sides
2 - Plateaux with aluminum 'P' and ~Dunmore shank treatment
3 - Supreme with gold band and 'Hand Cut' stem
4 - Wicklow with 'Hand Cut' twin bore stem
5 - System SPECIAL
6 - System SPECIAL

Got these unsmoked beauties in today. Shame that Peterson didn't put condensers in them.
Great acquisition. Yeah, the official 'Mark Twain' stamped pipes are not systems - adding the reservoir and condensor for the 2022 POTY was what made it different enough to be worth making for the POTY. Just compared the mortise opening two my MT's - of course, none have a reservoir. The two 1981's have small airway openings in the tenon, and my 1984 has a large opening - probably for a 6mm filter? I have another 1984 arriving, so I'll check it.
I love my two 2022's, though i only smoke ome of them. I've got one 84, one 86 and one 89 as well, I've never smoked them but the previous owners did.
I am embarrassed to admit that I haven't smoked any of my Mark Twains - the 2022 POTY smokes so nicely, and is a system, so I don't see how the MTs could be better. The one arriving tomorrow is kind of ragged on the outside, so I'll see how it smokes.
The 2022 is my go to pipe. I love that thing.
One of my top 2 or 3...
The POTY 2020 might be slightly more favored by myself but I'm grabbing both of them VERY frequently.
My first smoke was amazing - I had it shipped to my sister in Portland, and after picking it up, smoked some G&H Best Brown #2 on the drive back to Tacoma. It was a memorable smoke.
Anybody ever seen one of these? It was new to me so I bit...
