Peterson Deluxe 106S Estate Pipe: Box Opening, Cleaning, and First Smoke 

An excellent approach to building an affordable collection of high-quality classic pipes. These are the kinds of pipe videos I like to see: full of ideas and useful technical tips. The short demo on sanding and waxing the tenon is simple but helpful to those willing to put it into practice. I'm amazed at the number of pipe colleagues who suffer year after year with ill-fitting stems and other easily remedied problems. One of my long-time friends, a Dunhill fancier, never even cleans his pipes. He just waits until they no longer draw, and then takes them to the pipe shop for an overhaul. I might steer him to your video. But he'll probably wonder what the part involving pipe cleaners is all about.

As a German i got a chuckle out of you reading that Newspaper. And I didnt understand a single Word.

You are a pretty interesting cat. Enjoying your videos.Dig all the information and knowledge you pass on.

A simple and beautiful pipe & a nice bottle o whiskey too!

Let me guess, she smelled your knife, and you haven't seen her since? Ha! Great vid. Good Things.

Thanks for the visual example of this process. I bet I have been one click away from going after an eBay pipe ten times and just couldn't make myself take the next step BUT when I do I will know how to evaluate, clean, adjust, and prepare said pipe thanks to your instruction. Many thanks. You may want to pursue sponsorship from Dr. Pepper. LOL "YOU have been Bradley, I have been the viewer and this has been STUFF&THINGS ... brought to you by DR. PEPPER, always one of a kind!" Cheers!

"Smell this. Smell my knife." This might be my new pick up line!

Great looking pipe! Looking forward to some reviews, hope you have a great day!

I really like your videos, they are very informational to a new pipe smoker. Keep up the good work.

Smoking a 106 now. Great pipe. Love it.

When I was watching your video, I was sitting there smoking my cheap cob pipe from the Missouri meerschaum company with some GL Pease Abingdon, I was about a quarter way down in the bowl when you said your pipe smell like a Band-Aid. Lol, I started laughing so hard I blew ash through my pipe all over my lap dropped it on the floor it was hilarious.

And at times, you really do make me laugh out loud! Nice vid and nice pipe!

Just discovered your channel. Really enjoy learning how you clean, break in and smoke estates pipes. I'll keep watching.

Thanks for the very useful video and for a look at that great pipe. It's very classy. Perfect billiard shape, great quality, and with that quirky Peterson button. It was a nice result -- a high grade vintage pipe for very little money. Excellent condition, semi-restored by a reputable seller. It's sort of a happy medium between top-gouge retail estate pipe sellers, on the one hand, and yard sale sellers who just put it right up there for you to take the risk, on the other. It seems like you did well, and that's exactly what's good about buying vintage stuff. A lot of quality for your money there. Couldn't have been more timely for me, saw it just after an eBay Charatan lumberman arrived in the mail and I had finished some buffing and waxing. Okay, have to admit that first, my Top Gear withdrawal being so acute, I watched a series of RU-vid videos of James May making shepherd's pie (surprisingly entertaining!) -- then I saw you'd posted a new video. Here's the Charatan. It's now glossier and prettier than in the seller's photos. But it's HUGE. Gigantic bowl, thick stem. Normally when I get eBay pipes they are smaller in real life than I imagined them when looking at the photos, but this was the reverse. It needs somebody with a giant Fred Flinstone head to smoke it. I don't know if I even dare. But anyway, it's now slightly more beautiful. www.ebay.com/itm/Charatan-039-s-Make-Special-Freehand-Billiard-Made-In-London-England-402DC-/261820637475?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=HoaigRBZ9sqlaqSbpm6O3q9eHic%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Thank you very much for a really enjoyable and informative review. I learnt a lot.

Great video Bradley and congrats on your newest Peterson Deluxe acquisition. Thank you for taking the time to shoot & edit the footage for cleaning and caring for a pipe, as I'm found it informative and it will most likely prove helpful to a lot of us novice pipers in the community. Side Note: I did recently order a Peterson lighter (the Corona Old Boy style) based on your video review awhile back and I am anxious to receive it next week. Thank you!

you looked really tired , thanks for taking time to do that , I hope you had a relaxing evening with your novice pipe :)

Great pipe! In my short pipe smoking history, I too have started to gravitate to the straight billliard. It's seems I get a more consistent experience. Enjoy!

I have an Estate Peterson 1970s Dunmore #78 coming in tomorrow.

Thanks, I'll check their list.

Great video! That's one nice Pete you got there. I am a huge fan of all things Peterson. I have around 100 of them (crazy I know) of all different vintages and shapes. IMHO they are great smokers. Excellent job showing your cleaning process by the way. Enjoy your new pipe in good health! Take care. -Jim

for some reason I love the billiard shape and the Oom Paul pipes

Love the vids brother! Just got into pipe smoking... what took me so long!? I have immediately gained an appreciation for Peterson Pipes. Have 2 already 😄 a 314 and a 303 Standard Systems. Dying for a Premier or a Deluxe one day!

When i want to put the stem in i turn it clockwise and the other way when i want to take it out. i find in these method that the .stem tightening is not weakened, and also it set back in(or out) with no problem

That's a pretty sweet looking pipe! I definitely need to get another Peterson. As for Artisans Blend, many times I've considered purchasing it but haven't yet. Curious to see your review.

ROFL!! your german accent is pretty dang good!

Artisan's Blend is good if you like a Latakia forward English. I never buy a pipe if they don't have decent pics of the chamber. Nice to see they knew how to safely pack and ship a pipe. The one thing I always worry about is if it will have a Lakeland Ghost.

"This guy is pretty damn tight right now, so I'm just gonna keep working it back and forth a little bit."

Nice looking Peterson. I always think system pipe or bent when talking Peterson. Nice change.

I haven't seen this video before...both peterson pipes look great...and a tip when the stem is too tight, just put around the tenon some graphite from a pencil and you'll see the diference..

I smoked 2 bowls while watching this. Great channel. What is that model of lighter you have? I need one that makes flame go downward. Thx

At 27:44 he enters The Zone. haha, great vid.

Keep the videos rolling!!! They are great! Always looking forward to sunday smoke. Dont want to pry or be nosey and totally understandable if you dont wish to divulge the information but what do you do for a living if you dont mind me asking.

Very nice looking Peterson. Isn't it difficult to use a softie bit with the P-Lip stem? Just curious. ~Dale

Thanks for the vid, very informative. I'm still kinda new to your channel, but I notice that you don't do much coverage of meerschaums. I'm assuming it's a preference, but I was just wondering if you'd consider doing a few meerschaum related vids for information sharing purposes if nothing else (particularly cleanings). I find meerschaum to be an interesting part of the hobby, but I'm unfortunately also finding it difficult to find good vids on YT. Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough. Anyway, great channel! I'll be sure to check in from time-to-time.

I have a love hate relationship with EBay. I love it because I have the chance to find really nice pipes I wouldn't be able to afford otherwise. I hate it because I find so many pipes I couldn't possibly buy them all!!

hello there, how do you recommend sanitising the stem on the outside? just bought an estate pipe that is quite clean.

Scheiße! :D haha.. that was funny! Pretty pipe! Graphite also works well with hard-sticking mouthpieces. Greetings from Germany, Giacomo

Nice pipe you have and nice review. Do you dedicated a pipe for a different blend or you just smoke english and vaper in same pipe.. Cheers mate :)

I have a Peterson Deluxe 106 shape (an eBay purchase) in excellent condition and I would like to know if there is any way to date it. On one side is inscribed "Peterson's (and under that) "Deluxe" and below and to the left, the letter "A"; on the other side (small and in caps) "Made in the Republic of Ireland" and to the right, near the bowl, "106 F/T". What is your take on this? Perhaps you can point me to a source for identifying Peterson pipes. Many thanks.

I wondered if they had previously tried to sweeten it with an Islay scotch, because they do have a iodine/band-aide smell to it. I could see that peat smell could be imparted into the pipe.

anything you could suggest to use as an alternative for the bee's wax? or do I need to go rustle some up somewhere?

Always liked Peterson pipes, what is your top 3 pipe maker Bradley ?

Bradly, you are extremely cool!!! by the way, do you use a filter in your pipes? if not why not?

Hey Bradley, what's your favorite method for removing stem oxidation?

Aha! You use Jameson to sweeten your pipes. Good choice. I use higher proofs on mine. Wild Turkey 101 for Virginias and a cask strength Scotch for the English pipes. Nice Peterson by the way. Who was the Ebay seller?

dude you sounded more german than I do when I try haha.. been watching the channel for a while but now I seem to have an urge to pick up a pipe, I really like the look and feel of Italian pipes, is there any to recommend for starters, or just go straight to the top sellers?

If I send you some Band Aids for you to smoke, will you promise to do a Review? I promise they wont be used ones. I really like the pipe and appreciate the overview of how to handle them- I have bought two in the last two weeks.

I love your German.

Ahhh no worries! Really the only reason i ask is because of my profession involved a few classes and all the videos i viewed started with the exact same odd sounding bleeps and bloops that your videos start with. Maybe just a coincidence?

oh ho! so you can't read German but you seem to know a few words...interesting that you use whisky to clean/alter the taste of your pipe, I was taught by my bag pipe teacher to use whisky for the same reason you used it on my bag pipes but then again he also smoked a pipe too.

Your German accent isn't THAT bad. I am ethnically German/Mi'kmaq, so I'm trying to learn the German language. By the way, I love your reviews. I am curious as to what suggestions you may have for me (I have been smoking a pipe for one year so far)

👍👍

HaHa you seem to like to sniff a lot of things is that where the stuff and things came from knifes Band Aids what else just kidding love the show keep em coming Bradly :)

Bradley where did you get your beeswax?

I laugh every time I watch this lol

Because of this video I felt extremely compelled to re-open my eBay account... And I did... I hate you! :P

With you on the knife smells brother

Alcohol in the mortice raises the grain =( The sand paper on the tenon is the fix =). Forget the bees wax.

Why hath ye been smelling bandaids?

Ashton artisans blend is crap in my opinion. could have just been my tin. but if you want it I'll happily mail it to you. :)

When you tried to read German it accidentally sounded a bit like Switzerdeutsch.

tell me you are greek??

your tattoo say άνθρωπος,,,,, why wrote this please??

LOL, I'm guessing your female friend hasn't returned?

When a female friend is not impressed with the smell of your knife. FeelsBadMan
