Peterson 2000 Pipe of the Year Smooth Dublin 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.

Since 1997, Peterson has released an annual, limited edition “Pipe of the Year,” with these pipes typically being completely novel designs, or reissues of shapes that have long since been discontinued. For the year 2000, Peterson fans were in fact treated to two different POY models, both of which were new shapes within the make’s catalog. This is one of them: a diamond shank, bent pot, with a sterling silver spigot mount, also known as the B13. A highly distinctive design, it wears Peterson’s light smooth finish, capturing plenty of cross grain and bird’s-eye patterns.

The condition is good. Some wear to the rim and handling marks.
