Lately, I've required fewer reasons to justify purchasing a pipe. I've always wanted a Peterson St. Patrick's Day pipe and I loved the 2015 theme so much that I just couldn't pass it up. To top it off, I owed a friend and figured one of these would make a great gift. Lastly, the price was unbeatable at $94.50 each.
What I like about this pipe mostly are the lines. The double silver inlays at the end of the shank as well as the lines running the circumference of the bowl really appeal to me. Also, the green color just spoke to me (green is my favorite color after all). The contrast between green and black with the touch of silver really makes this pipe stand out.
The right side of this particular pipe has lots of birdseye.
Most people would probably have shied away from the large round bulls-eye pattern on the bottom left of the bowl, but I found it to offer a very unique character and was one of the primary reasons I chose this pipe for myself.
The pipe smokes like every other Peterson I've had, though my others are the p-lip bit and this is a fishtail. Honestly, I much prefer the fishtail. Also it is acrylic, where my other Peterson's are vulcanite. This is the classic 68 shape from Peterson and I have to say, I really like this shape. It's elegant and feels great hanging from my teeth, though it does feel a touch heavy. Overall, I'm very happy with this choice.
Happy Puffing!
