What's Better Than A New Pipe?

[Rusty Mouse]

Two new pipes! Just came in the mail today. A Radice Rubino Bulldog and a Peterson Rosslare Classic (03), that is surprisingly heavy (which I like). With a sandblasted Savinelli Nonpariel (9408) on its way, it leaves only 3 more spots on my rack, who should the lucky contestants be!? Time will tell.
Feast your eyes...

As usual Rusty, you have acquired a couple eye catching additions to your collection. I really like both! 8)

Nice acquisitions, there! I really like the Radice. I'm not partial to Peterson, but that one is a stunner! Its got a beautiful stem to be sure.

 

[Rusty Mouse]

Thanks Gents, the Radice was the pipe I was most excited to receive, however the Peterson really caught my attention when I took it out of the box, pictures just don't do it justice. I love the 03 shape, I have three now, the stem on this particular one adds just the right amount of flash I think.

Ha! That Rhodesian was my second choice, and very well may be my next pipe. I like your style!

Those Petes are really nice, I might have to put one on my wanted list... any noticeable fills on them?

Not a single fill that I can see on mine, trust me, I put my pipes under a microscope when I first get them, well, a flash light and a keen eye.

Not at this time. If a pipe has fills, my experience has been, in the better firms products at least, they don't really show till a few years into smoking them. I've a few older Comoy's and Gbd's and Savanelli's that have fills but nothing I can't live with. A black or brown Sharpie is your friend as far as fills go Cupajoe's had a nice selection of the Pete's back before Christmas

Those Rosslare's are stunners, I love them myself. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a black sandblasted one myself.

DAMN! I just saw one a few days back, went to get the link for you and she's gone! I guess you weren't the only one with their eyes peeled. That's my issue with impulse buying, in my mind it's "I'm gonna get it before someone else does!"

 

[plumbernater]

You know the rosslare line is of the top line petersons. Id love to get a few.

The Rosslares are some of the higher priced Pete's but as has been said they are not considered in the High Grades of Pete's. Here's a list of the High Grades Peterson makes as listed at the International Peterson Pipe Club and Peterson in Dublin:

I love the look of that pipe.....I almost bought one a couple of days ago in lieu of the 80 shape...which I like slightly better...but which was not in stock in the rosslare finish anywhere I could find. I decided to wait and keep looking...although I may give in to being impatient.
