Peterson Dublin Castle Pipes

This may be my fault and is the only reason I didn’t give a 5 star but I would have liked it to have a Peterson mouth piece rather than a standard one

I ordered this pipe on St. Patrick's day and got it within a week. When I got it out of the package I noticed the band was a bit of an odd color a bit like antiqued bronze, so I put it on my buffer for a second and was surprised to find a sterling silver band that was hallmarked and everything underneath. This was my first sandblasted Peterson pipe, and I'll give whoever is doing the blasting at Peterson an A+. The mortise on this pipe was super deep almost like it's a system pipe but it smokes dry and consistently well right out of the box. Altogether I couldn't be more pleased. I've had mixed experiences with Peterson in the past but based on this one I could wholeheartedly recommend this line.
