[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 475327, member: 2318"] I have maybe ten or so Petes, And most are "made in the Republic of Ireland." I have had some quality issues with newer Petes -- gaps between stummel and bit, a cracked bit ... Annoying, but quickly fixed and returned. None of the quality issues negMatively affected smoking. But annoying as I said. One of my best smoking pipes is an Irish Second -- I.e., Pete -- that I bought fifty years ago, among my first. It's a plain, Slightly chunky, unembellished, straight, smooth, light billiard with several small fills and a stem I bit through a decade ago. ( I am reluctant to send it away for repair and belatedly put a rubber bite protector on it) I'm sure my old Pete would be seen as a knockabout pipe by any sensible piper. But it smokes anything I put in it like a dream. You can take your chances. Maybe quality has improved. Check it over carefully, if you buy new, and return (unsmoked) if you find conspicuous flaws. Or possibly buy an estate Pete. Good luck. P.S. FWIW I think the metal doodad Pete puts on some briars is too big and looks clunky. YMMV [/QUOTE]
