Peterson Carroll of Carrollton

[Idlefellow]

Just wondering if anyone has sprung for one of these? I'm kinda intrigued by the "short Churchwarden" thing, and I do have a few bucks of house credit at Smokingpipes. I vowed never to buy a Peterson without a p-lip but I might have to renegue on that promise.

I ordered one. Won't be able to say if the pipe is worth it for a few days. But I'm a sucker for Pete's. About split evenly between p-lips and fishtails.

I ordered a sandblasted one. The price was right, the blast looked ok and it is #5 of the edition. I also wanted a new cob with leather stand that was just added to the MM line. Now the anticipation until early next week!

Not in the budget right now, but I do like the look of it and am a sucker for Petersons. So, if someone wanted to send one my way that would be fun lol

I'm tempted by the sandblast mostly due to price but if I get one I think I'm gonna go for the Heritage finish. I have quite a few sandblast Petes but don't have any in the Heritage. I returned a SH Professor in that finish because I thought it was misrepresented, but since I now know what to expect I think it looks pretty nice on the smaller bowl of the Carrollton. I do think a p-lip would have enhanced the look of the pipe however !

Later: well, I done did it. I figure the most it can cost me is a little return shipping.

Man, I felt successful because I narrowed down my next pipe purchase to either a Savinelli Clark's Favorite, or the Bing. Now you go drag this into it! Gaahhh!

(I know... buy all three)

 

[Idlefellow]

Yeah, it's always something

Well, I received the pipe today and it'll be going back. I don't know what I was expecting and I probably should have paid more attention to the specs, but it's WAY too small for me; I just know I'll never smoke it. Too bad; it's a nice concept. Maybe they'll appeal to folks who prefer small pipes but that's definitely not me . Shown here with my SH Professor...

 

[lgoldberg]

Bummer!

I find that a .75 inch diameter and 1.25 inch depth is perfect for what I smoke. It will fit a MacBaren HH Pure Virginia Flake or half a Dunhill/Peterson Flake. It also works for an hour or so English/Balkan blend.

 

[Idlefellow]

Yeah. That'n was just a bit dainty for me I'm afraid.
