The Pipe shapes and styles

Pipe shapes on pipemagazine.com

Here is a chart to help you differentiate one from the other.
In my opinion, the most common is billiard, then bent billiard and apple.
My favorite is calabash, that shape is very cool with me.
If you are beginner, I recommend you that choice bent billiard or bent apple.
These shapes are so easy to use without technique, prevent heat and wet during smoke, and it nice too.
The straight one request some technique to not drink the liquid.
Some shapes are unique and hard to find like oom paul, tomahawk, vest pocket and freehand.
The Churchwarden is another one I like. It really long so smoke have time to cool down before come into my mouth, and the liquid can not reach my tongue.
I hope that chart will help you.
Thank you for reading.

Peterson Saint Patrick's Day 2015 338 pipe Review

The Peterson Saint Patrick's Day 338 pipe

That Saint Patrick's Day series are the yearly product.
On the photo is version 2015 of this series.
It's a very nice pipe with green finish and the great classic pattern around the bowl.
It has green band, I guess that made by plastic or a kind of stone.
The P logo on stem that be painted by white, that is the weakness of this series, look so cheap.
In modern pipe, Peterson has not given the valued system, instead of 9mm filter that make tobacco strength milder and flavor not as good as they have.
This pipe have a long small bowl, that the shape what I love. Very easy to pack and take smoke, prevent of heat and wet.
After all, this pipe quite good, not too much but enough.
If you are a collector, you must have this pipe in your collection. But you are the smoker, please looking for an other pipe for great smoke. 
Thank you for reading.
If you have any question, please feel free to contact me, I'll give you any thing of my knowledge. 

Peterson Standard System 302 Review

The Peterson's Standard System 302 pipe

The Standard System is the what bring famous to Peterson Brand.
It has any thing you need in each one of this grade.
In this pipe, we have a rounded bowl, a sterling silver band and the P-lip mouth piece.
This pipe produce a light wet smoke, but we can except that of the large bowl and short stem.
It has quite nice grant but this pipe belong to low grade, so the material not so good.
The mouth piece of this pipe is the "army" one, it has been made for the military.
On the silver band stamped " K & P " stand for Kapp and Peterson as known as the founder of Peterson Brand.
This pipe has the Peterson System too. It has been advertised that cool and dry but not totally.
There are many shape of this grade but I only have one. It'll be same, I think so ?
Thank you for reading.

The Peterson Supreme X106 pipe

Today I gonna show you my experiment in a large pipe of Peterson Brand.
As you known, a large straight pipe require high technique in smoke. But with this pipe, you haven't been worry about that.
It's so sweet when you pack either when you smoke.
It produce a cool and dry smoke even without filter.
This pipe have a very nice grant that you can not find in any mid-high grade of any brand because it's the highest grade of Peterson.
The big and tall bowl will give you a long smoke, it's about 25-35 minutes depend on where have you taken smoke.
After all, this pipe is amazing. If you are a old smoker, you should have one.

How to smoke a pipe

Today, I gonna show you how to smoke a pipe.
The first is how to pack tobacco into the bore :
- I used to pack it by 3 times. First time, fill the bore with tobacco then tamp it down lightly to the half of bore. And then, fill the bore again with tobacco, tamp it down more hardly than the first time but not too tight. Finally fill the pipe one more time and tamp tobacco gently and give some puff to make sure it not to tight or too loose.

The second is how to light up the pipe :
- It usually take 2 or more times to light up completely. I offer to use the pipe lighter or normal butane lighter, do not use the pipe zippos or any petrol lighter because of the bad smell.
- First, take the lighter, light up into the bore and puff that "long and light". And then, the tobacco will expand and we have to tamp it down.
- Second light it up again, this time tobacco will keep the fire but not completely, keep puffing and tamp it down lightly.

Now the pipe will burn itself, keep smoking and enjoy it.
