Peterson Dracula 03 Sandblasted Apple Estate Briar Pipe, Italian Estates

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 Dracula series originally debuted in 2012, as part of a limited run to commemorate 100 years since the passing of Irish writer Bram Stoker. It was, however, such a success that Peterson opted to produce it more regularly. The design certainly leans into the aesthetic of the horror classic, owing to its near-black, sandblast finish, specially engraved nickel collar, and macabre, sanguine red mouthpiece.

The condition is very good. Minor wear to the rim.
