Peterson Irish Made Army 102 Sandblasted Billiard w/ Nickel 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.

Peterson has made pipes in the “army mounted” style for well over a century now, and are arguably a big part of the reason the style is as popular as it is. The make’s flagship model is the Irish Made Army, a nickel army mounted series of classic Anglo-French shapes. More recently, the Irish Made Army underwent something of a rejuvenation, with new expansions to the line, including the finishes offered. This lightweight billiard rendition, for example, includes the new, reddish-brown sandblast available for the Irish Made Army, paired with the line’s classic nickel mount and vulcanite fishtail mouthpiece.
