Peterson Newgrange Spigot 106 Partially Sandblasted Pot Estate Briar Pipe, Irish 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.

Introduced in 2017, the Newgrange Spigot belongs to Peterson’s impressive series of sterling silver spigot-mounted pipes, all of which are turned and fitted at Peterson’s Dublin factory. The Newgrange is, however, a little different to most other Silver Spigot lines, thanks in no small part to its very distinctive color palette. Instead of the simple “dress” motif of the Silver Spigot Black, Newgrange bowls are finished with a contrasting, near-black and deep burgundy sandblast, which is mirrored by the pipes’ faux-cumberland acrylic mouthpieces.

The condition is very good. Minor inner rim charring.
