Peterson 2022 Halloween Pipe 124 Sandblasted Dublin w/ Nickel Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

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.

Peterson, perhaps more than any other make, takes an enthusiastic part in worldly festivities. For decades, Peterson pipes have been released to celebrate, for example, the New Year (in the form of an annual Pipe of the Year), Father’s Day, American Independence Day, Saint Patrick’s Day, Christmas, and other occasions marked around the world. Picking up where the old Samhain series left off, Peterson has, since 2021, also celebrated Halloween, with a yearly, special series of limited edition pipes. Each iteration of the Halloween Pipe is of a distinct design not found in the make’s standard catalog, one which leans heavily into the gothic connotations of that most macabre of holidays.

For 2022, Peterson’s Halloween Pipe was available in a variety of classic house shapes, but with a decidedly unorthodox color palette. As can be seen on this slender, nickel army-mounted “124” Dublin rendition, the pipe combined two colors intimately connected to the Irish Samhain season; a midnight black sandblast dressing for the bowl, and a fiery orange acrylic for the mouthpiece.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating.
