Peterson Speciality Rusticated Barrel w/ Nickel 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.

The “Barrel” is one of Peterson’s “Speciality” shapes, a series of four rather unconventional designs that debut all the way back to 1945. Like the other shapes in the Speciality series, the Barrel is sleek, featherlight, and adorned with a nickel collar, along with a vulcanite, P-lip stem. It’s a great pipe to carry around, for shorter smokes or puffing on the go.

This pipe is completely unsmoked, with an original bowl coating.
