Since the issue of the original Mark Twain series of pipes in the 1980's,Peterson have become victims of their own success and came under pressure from World-wide collectors to resurrect the series.The original pipes gained a cult following, mainly on the back of the Mark Twain legend,plus their handsome looks and excellent smoking qualities.In recent months Peterson has issued a twin pipe set in honour of Mark Twain and to commemorate the great man's passing in 1910.
The first pipe in the two pipe boxed set is a smooth bent with P-lip similar to the first issue pipe of the 80's,the second is a fishtail stem Poker.The pipes are available in four finishes,Smooth,Sandblast,Rustic and Ebony.
I hope to acquire a smooth boxed set soon and will then be in a better position to assess the performance and compare the new to the old.So watch this space!
