Peterson pipes - 2007/01/28 03:33 I'm a fairly new pipe collector with a small, growing collection. I've got one Italian briar and one meerschaum, plus a couple cheapos.

I'm intrigued by Peterson pipes, but I know next to nothing about them. What makes them good? What justifies the high prices I've seen for them? Is it materials--are some of them natural briars? Is it innovative design?

I'm thinking of adding one to my collection, but I like to know exactly what I'm jumping into with such an important and expensive addition.

Re:Peterson pipes - 2008/02/03 07:24 Hello fellow pipesmoker,

For starters, know that Petersons are briar a natural product. I have several Peterson's in my collection and it's not hard to say why I like them. The price is a value compared to other pipes available on the market. Some say they are a little harder to "break in" but that hasn't been the case for me.

They also have a "dry system" and what we fondly call a "P" lip. If you go on the Peterson website, this is very well explained.

I'm not sure what price range you are looking for, but you can buy quality Petersons for under $100 in most retail shops. Once you start adding the silver or gold bands, tops and spigots, you start bringing up the price.

Do a little more homework, and start looking at all the available styles and colors. I don't believe you will be disappointed with a Peterson in your collection.
