Just tried the pencil trick here in my office, and it seemed to make no change. Don't get me wrong, the stem fits properly, but I have to exert a little more effort than I think I should need to screw it in. My idea with the sandpaper was not to remove a lot of material, but simply to smooth it somewhat, to reduce friction.
It's a Jeep wave.Nice ride! Mopar fist bump
It’s pretty close. Pipestud has sold a lot of tins of this lately (the majority to his 1st responders) and prices ranged from $45-$75 if I remember correctly. I got 2 tins for $30 from my local BM. He told me he has an older customer who is slowly divesting his pipe tobacco. He has supposedly been buying from this local shop for close to 40yrs. I’m eagerly waiting to see what else shows up.Does it command the same prices as McClelland or does it fly under the radar a little?
My wife never understood the Jeep wave when I had a Wrangler. Of course she also didn’t understand why I gave a little wave to cars/trucks going the opposite direction on a backroad.It's a Jeep wave.

I had an 01 TJ that I bought new and drove for 13yrs. Finally sold it after buying a house. Hard to haul full sheets of sheet rock in a Jeep and I had no place to park a trailer. Went back to driving a pickup. I really want to get an old CJ and restore it but they’re hard to find for a good price in decent shape.I don’t adhere to a hierarchy so much. I a wave to CJs, YJs, TJs, JKs, and JLs (basically other Jeep with similar body styling as a wrangler). Attached is a history of the wave.
The new Jeep is my 5th one. It replaced a TJ that I had for 19 yrs (bought new in 2002). It was still good just getting costly on maintenance.

Up in Michigan there was a guy that would go to Arizona and buy used Jeep’s to sell in Michigan. He would buy them in Arizona only and ship them back by the truck load. Guaranteed no rust.Plus finding one not rusted out around here is problematic.
Yeah, I've looked. Cost more than a down payment on a house though.Up in Michigan there was a guy that would go to Arizona and buy used Jeep’s to sell in Michigan. He would buy them in Arizona only and ship them back by the truck load. Guaranteed no rust.
Indeed it is a beauty! There is something special about the feel of a pot pipe in the hand.
I have that Harp in its 106 billiard trim. I'm a pot guy, and like yours better.

Positively awful tasting for the first 4-6 bowls ... then it slowly settled down into a very solid smoker. Stick with it if yours does the same.
Many happy puffs with it!
This is the second Peterson pipe I’ve bought with that black bowl coating. Both pipes gave off a very bitter flavor on the first smoke. Other than that. A very beautiful pipe with amazing rich color. Also my first experience with that shape. And that Celtic harp on the silver band demands that my next smoke be accompanied by a pint of Guinness!
