My first Peterson

[Valdus]

As many of you may know from another thread, I just got. Ys lo that Peterson Sherlock Holmes Handsome. I compromised a bit for the fishtail stem. Instead of ebony I settled with the dark red wood, up in the end I like it better! Also found it for 80 bucks less.

Damn that US markup

I do love that shape- like a deep bent bulldog, which is my favorite standard shape.

Never had a Pete, can’t wait!

The best beast out there. Sweet.

Very nice. I've got one of those in my wish list (has been there a while). Mst of my pipe collection consists of Petersons, can't go wrong.

That pipe is strikingly handsome!

I know about expectations vs. reality but ye glorious gods I’m so excited! First”real” pipe I bought for myself! For 50th birthday!

I really need a Pete in my collection someday. That one is very nice!

Einstein was right, time is relative! This shipment took forever.

Looks great! Classic Pete design and an interesting take on the bulldog.

Very nice. Definitely looking for a new pipe when i get home, and i have been eyeballing one of those.

Super looking Pete you got yourself! I've only got one myself and it's a fishtail too. Hope yours smokes as nicely as mine does.

How are you liking it?

 

[Valdus]

I havent broken it in because I have not had time for a casual smoke today. No doubt it will hapen later on this weeek. One thing is that it is a bit smaller than I imagined. No doubt because of the superb tricky dick photography.

Inauguration with GL Pease Westminster ( aged over 10 years- like smoking chocolate) and Muddy Waters playing.

So how was the pipe? If it smokes half as good as it looks then it must have been fantastic!
