Peterson Racing Green Pipe

[Slow Triathlete]

Hi Everynoe,

I'm interested in buying the attached pipe but I have a few questions. I've never owned a Peterson, are there any quirks about their pipes that I should know about.

Also, I really like the racing green color. Is it a stain or is it painted? Will it interfere with the pipes ability to dry out and to transfer heat?

If anyone knows these answers they would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks.

I own one thanks to Smitty

I have to say for me there is no quirks. I believe it is a stain and it doesn't impact the drying out of the pipe.

I say if you like the look buy it, you won't be sorry at all. They are even more beautiful in person.

Hope this helps you a bit.

Great pipe at a good price, that one. I own one myself. It's a green stain, so it's waxed, not varnished & smokes great .... a litle word to the wise, however, is to keep it out of the sun for long periods .... mine was on a table where the sun hits it & the stain faded to an ugly yellowish on one side ..... so I flipped the pipe over & let the sun do it's trick to the other side. lol .... now it's uniformly ugly yellowish .... great smoker though.

I've had one for almost seven years. Great smoker, looks good. No complaints at all.

I never knew that about the sun. Thanks for the warning, monsoon

Can't go wrong with a Peterson. They smoke well, and look great. Only quirk is that if it is a "system" pipe it has a reservoir in the bowl that is supposed to collect moisture and provide a cooler/dryer smoke. If you run your pipe cleaner through it may not go into the bowl but into the reservoir, especially on a bent model. So be sure after your pipe rests to take off the stem and give it a thorough look.

I love that pipe, hope to get one like it for myself one day. It looks like it has a plip, I like them but not everybody does.

I don't think that it is a "system" pipe. But yes, it does have a p-lip mouthpiece. How does a "P-lip" differ from other mouthpieces?

the main difference is the hole is on top instead of at the very end like a normal one, supposedly it helps tongue bite.

The P-Lip blows the smoke from the top and onto the roof of your mouth.

It is different but I like it.

First time to smoke Peterson.. you will really, really enjoy this event.
Peterson pipes are so wonderful pipes. you will feel it and understand this after the first bowl.

[Slow Triathlete]

That's odd, but I'll try anything once!!

It's made to smoke differently as stated, but it feels different in the mouth/teeth as well. If you are a clincher/biter you may not like the rounded feel.

Because I only have one P-lip in my rotation, it's allways weird when I pick it up & put it in my mouth, as I'm not used to that bit feel.

My buddy has the same pipe and loves it.
