    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Bought my first Pete from a friend's estate in '91. Been a Peterson fan ever since. About 40% of my pipe herd is Peterson but closer to 75% of the pipes I smoke are Peterson.

    Pipes and Cigars Online Store. Never Again.

    Last order from them will be my last order. After 3 weeks of not shipping my order, made repeated calls to customer service being on hold 20 minutes each time with me then hanging up before finally reaching a person who said she'd tell management to ship it.

    What Are You Listening To - May, 2024

    Always on the look-out for harder driving contemporary blues stations and checked out a new one to me today. Pretty fine. https://theblues101.com/

    What Are You Drinking? May 2024

    Cabernet 6 nights a week but on the 7th, there be harder stuff. Cannot afford single malts but did have a quite serviceable blended Scotch-John Barr.

    Cigars to Pipes...No Looking Back

    I'll smoke a cigar a couple of times a year. Far prefer pipes. I do find cigars to be inconsistent in their structure which turns me off not to mention cost.

    I'd gotten my only 11s off the Bay over a decade ago. All 4 of my deluxe system pipes are hallmarked to the 70's. Haven't perused the Bay in over a decade but way back when, deals were common. Never paid more than $100-got them all off the Bay-for any of them and 1 went for $49. All in great...

    Do You Suffer From CFA?

    Freud did say that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Don't desire to fondle my pipes but do admit I like to fondle my pipes. :)

    Ok, I caved. The urge to buy my first pipe of the year kept growing til I hit the buy button tonight.:) Bought myself a rusticated Baskerville which I've thought of buying for a couple of years. Mine was an estate version for $28 off new. For those unfamiliar with the model, it looked like this...

    Deluxe System or Spigot? Help me Decide!

    Personally, don't see much difference between my deluxe systems and my spigots, 1 of which is a system spigot.

    A Stark Warning

    On occasion while smoking some crud might get sucked up into the stem prior to when I intend to stop smoking the pipe. Essential then to pull out stem to push pipe cleaner through the bit from the tenon side to clear it. Stick it back on an resume smoking. No problem. Do have a pipe or 2 that...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    That amount of time to smoke a bowl in a clay would be normal for me and not constitute a "fast smoke." Clay bowls are just too small.

    Very nice. My favorite of my collection is a bent house pipe. Not one typically to buy mutiples of the same pipe, but would be tempted by a blasted house pipe to go with my rusticated one.

    They do indeed. Only lately have they been showing up at the feeder this year.

    Lovely pipe. Isn't that an acorn or pear shape?

    Sandblast Quality of Peterson PSB, Ashton LX, and Kai Nielsen Artisan

    The blast on my regular, old Squire looks pretty "PSB"-y.

    Art Deco Ashtray Stand Restoration Project

    Great job. I have a floor-standing metal ashtray with a large, amber colored cut-glass ash tray that I always use when smoking a pipe. Bought it from a Goodwill store many years ago for $5. Had gotten all my wood pipe racks from second-hand stores years ago. Haven't seen much smoking-related...

    Peterson "Shannon Air System" Drops Tomorrow

    If true, that would be a big nope for me. Ugliest looking Petes I've ever seen.;)
