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...- FLDRD

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...- FLDRD

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.- FLDRD

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.- FLDRD

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.- FLDRD

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- FLDRD

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.- FLDRD

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 /...- FLDRD

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.- FLDRD

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...- FLDRD

Pack and Tap: Is my Strange Way Wrong?
You'll eventually find some combination of "methods" will work just fine for you. Sometimes it only takes a couple of years practice and things just "click" for you! ;) I've often wondered why that most recent "aha!" took so long to occur - since it's so obvious to me - after the fact... And...- FLDRD

Terracotta Fingers and Replacement Stems? (Peterson content)
I'm surprised you didn't get more replies to your question. I have read about some stains being water soluble and diminishing like that. I have not experienced that personally. I don't have a recommendation for your best solution to that issue, but there are some floating around here somewhere...- FLDRD

F.A.T. = Free Aromatic Tobacco Some do, some don't. Some will, some won't. I've tried and tried but repeatedly come up short. They smell delicious in the tin. Some of them even hold a flame. :ROFLMAO: They provide a nuanced and delicious flavor - until they don't do it for me. I truly...- FLDRD

A couple months back I got a 2001 Peterson 68 with a horrid "dick-lip" that someone had tried to create with an incorrect bend and a forward oriented draft hole - I refused to smoke it as was. 😵💫 The first 2 pics were all I really have showing how it began. The final ones are after rustiepyles...- FLDRD
