Nobody yet. They aren't due out until mid to late October or early November.
 
kaiser did you have to put money down or just get an email notification when they go up?
also these pipes remind me of the Butz-Choquin Stratos pipes

No money just go onto the email list for instant notification upon arrival.
 
If you have a good, nearby B&M with Peterson contacts, give 'em a call. It's probably anyone's best bet at the moment.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

A freighter loaded with this series of pipes left Europe on October 3rd, and was bound for North America. To add to the authenticity of the series, they were packed in large oblong boxes full of soil. Yesterday, October 11th, the ship was found drifting in the north Atlantic, with no one on board the freighter. Absolutely no one. All the boxes had been ripped open and the pipes are gone, apparently stolen. Authorities are investigating blood found on the decks and are treating it as piracy on the high seas.

:face: :face:

Just stumbled across this video this morning. I gotta say, that Dracula pipe looks pretty nice.
 
Dude!!! I want it. He sounds American and he has one. I want one!!!!!! Where the heck did he get it and for $82 that is way lower than the quote I got.
 
Aaah ! Pink & Black! VERY 1950's ! Definately will get the attention of all the "retro" folks :twisted:
 
Head's up, brothers:

There's a X105 on the fleabay right now with a decent buy-it-now price tag:

and a 221 that has a couple days of bidding still open on it:

I like supporting my local Edward's B&M, so am holding off until they get in the ones they've got back-ordered, but for those who are looking to find'em online these could be decent options...
 
Welp I picked up a 221 off eBay when they were still on there and am waiting on it, but had mentioned that I really wanted a 69. One of our awesome brothers across the pond offered to grab me one from a B&M he uses and I of course jumped on that opportunity. These pipes are just so darn sexy that having two of them in my collection is definitely something I have no complaints about at all. Here are the pics of the 69.




Needless to say I am insanely excited, and thank you brother for hooking me up with the 69. I absolutely love the shape and smoking characteristics of that shape. Enjoy the pipe porn.
 
Ya know SimpleMan someone should pose that question to Peterson. Maybe we could get some awesome Dracula toby.

I'm gonna pick up some Tewksbury and Co's Nosferatu to try in mine, whenever it comes in...not much for aros, but Greyson's review of that was intriguing, and, duh, it's called Noferatu! Just realized from a pic Tech posted on the BoB bomber thread that Tewks' B&M is actually close enough that I can drive over there at some point to try their wares, as I've yet to sample any...will report back!

Hells yes--that is gorgeous, very nicely done! This'll be my first Pete, as it happens, and as my B&M is planning on getting one of each model in I'm hoping to have some options--what is it that you prefer about the 69 to the 221? Obviously it all boils down to personal preference, but I'm curious. I was leaning to the 999 myself, but I already some Rhodesian-y pipes, and do like the classic shape of that 69...are they all roughly the same size bowl?
 
To be honest, I only have one Pete so far and it is an Irish Made Army shape 69. The bowl is the perfect shape to handle about everything I can throw at it. It takes flakes great, plugs great, and ribbon great. The Pete I have now is my best smoking pipe in my collection, there ares some close, but the Pete is the best and sees the most time because of that. I figure I don't want to mess with perfection which is why I wanted a 69 Dracula (Not in a kinky way either). I am not saying the 69 is the best shape ever, but it sure as heck performs for me every time I pick it up. Wish I could answer you better than that, but that is all I can tell you. YMMV
