Peterson 2002 St Patrick’s Day XL90s Smooth Bent Billiard with Nickel (Estate)

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.

It is only natural that the great Irish pipe company Peterson should honor Ireland’s patron saint, which they have done each year since 1998. These St Patrick’s Day pipes are always a limited edition make and each is distinct from the last. They are, as a consequence, collectors’ items, as well as great smokers. The 2002 release continued Peterson’s tradition of offering classic house shapes with the additional fineries of the St Patrick’s Day pipe, including a reddish-brown smooth finish and a specially engraved nickel collar.

The condition is fair. Some rim darkening, finish fading, handling marks, and a few scratches around the bowl.
