Peterson Arklow 304 Sandblasted Oom Paul Sitter Briar Pipe, New

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.

Originally debuting in 2017, Peterson’s Arklow began as a retailer-only line, but soon enough was released to the broader public by popular demand. In contrast to Peterson’s typically darker sandblast finishes, the Arklow is much lighter, with a rustic, almost woodsy hue. This one is rendered in Peterson’s classic “304” shape, an Oom Paul variant with a flat base for easy sitting.
