Peterson 2016 Ashford 68 Smooth Bent Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Irish Estates

Description

Peterson pipes generally need no introduction, but just in case you’re unfamiliar: in 1876, a Latvian named Charles Peterson immigrated to Ireland and was hired making pipes in a workshop owned by Frederick and George Kapp. After rising through the ranks to become head craftsman, Peterson bought into the Kapp’s business, which was renamed, Kapp & Peterson (K&P). During this time, Peterson himself applied for several patents for pipe designs, including the world-famous Peterson’s System. Since then, Peterson has become one of the most recognizable names in pipe smoking and continues to produce high quality pipes from their headquarters in Dublin.

The Ashford was originally a line released exclusively for the Italian market, though ultimately it was so popular that it was later re-released for Pete smokers around the world. This one is rendered in Peterson’s classic shape 68 bent billiard.

The condition is good. Minor scratches around the bowl and a professionally made replacement stem.
