    Are you a straight or bent bit/stem person?

    When I started with pipes I was all about the bent shapes. Later I decided that I was a straight or slightly bent guy. Now, most of the last few pipes I've acquired are bents. Go figure 🤔.

    Pipe For Sale - Peterson B-42

    Standard System B-42, sandblast, p-lip. Like new; probably 2-3 bowls smoked at the most, straight tobacco - no syrupy sludge hangover. I used a softy; no teeth marks; anything on the mouthpiece pics is a reflection not a mark. Looks like they sell for $110+ new, asking $90 OBO shipped in the...

    OK; so I lied

    I posted a while back that I had bought my for-sure-honest-to-God-last Peterson, but...I've always like the Prince-style shape but found it a bit too dainty for me. Then I saw the Pete 408 shape and thought, OK; there's a similar Idea I could get next to. Like a Prince but beefier. Again but...

    Can money buy happiness?

    My wife and I agree that the value of money is the good it could do for others less fortunate. Amassing a fortune for the sake of having it is not something we care about. Having enough to eliminate worries about day-to-day things like health care, unforeseen expenses, etc. is important; the...

    Cobs

    Timbo, I think it's an aesthetic thing rather than a "technical" thing for me.

    The Friday Pipe

    I guess I don't understand your frustrations. Very attractive pipe to my eye. Perfect? I don't know, but then did you pay a "perfect level" price for it? And if it smokes as well as you say, then...? JMO.

    A nice cool and breezy morning here on the prairie. A perfect time for a bit of SWR in the Pete XL02 before the temps hit 95 later on :confused:

    New pipe and 3 tobaccos… when to move on to the other 2?

    I use the "enjoy my pipe" method. It's worked for me for around 50 years ;).

    Cobs

    Yeah I guess. But to tell you the truth I'd just wait till the work was done and enjoy a nice briar ;)

    Cobs

    Prepping myself for the onslaught from those who love them: I have never been able to get next to cobs. I've owned a few, including a big ol' Douglas MacArthur styled one. I don't remember them smoking poorly or anything, but then I don't remember them smoking great either. I guess my main...

    Country Squire?

    Not sure if this is the right forum, but is anyone else unable to connect to Country Squire? I get their weekly emails and there was something I wanted to take a look at so I tried to click over and just got a white screen; it didn't go anywhere. I tried to start from scratch on a different...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Good for you! And I get it; I have this old Peterson I found at a flea market. It's beat to h*ll, the logo is barely visible, somebody over-reamed the bowl at some point, and the back of the bowl has a crack. But it smokes great and is one of my favorites and to me it's beautiful (looks...
