Peterson Amber Spigot X105 Sandblasted Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked

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.

Peterson’s Amber Spigot pipes are among its rarest and most sought-after high-grade creations. The story goes that, in 2016, Peterson discovered a box in a forgotten corner of their warehouses, containing unused stems of genuine amber that had been used for certain Peterson pipes in the early 19th century. Not wanting to let a good thing go to waste, Peterson used this small supply of amber stems to create a small number of pipes, using their best stummels and spigots of sterling silver.

This pipe is is completely unsmoked and comes with its original presentation case and sleeve, having come to us in a large new old stock lot from a shop closure in Europe.

Please note that as amber is a fairly brittle material, we advise that smokers do not bite down on or clench the amber stem while in use. The pipe also comes with its original second stem, made of acrylic.
