Peterson 2015 Christmas Pipe B10 Sandblasted Dublin (Unsmoked Estate)

About this pipe:

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.

Since 2009, Peterson has released an annual, limited edition, “Christmas Pipe,” one separate in design from their Pipe of the Year and other seasonal offerings. Such pipes often have a little more color to them than Peterson’s standard lines, for example, in keeping with the festive season.

Arguably one of the most playful iterations of the Christmas Pipe was that of 2015, seen here. Each pipe was dressed in a crisp, slight contrast sandblast and fitted with a brindled acrylic mouthpiece, both evocative of seasonal treats and the like. Each pipe was also fitted with a specially engraved nickel collar, bearing both the year of the release and a portrait of jolly old Saint Nick.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating. It comes with its original box and sleeve.
