2016 Peterson House Pipe Rusticated Billiard 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.

Peterson’s House Pipe series features some of the largest pipes offered by the historic Irish make, each being hand made from designs based on Peterson’s Oversized range from the late 1800s. I suppose you could say that they’re for smoking “on your own time,” such as one spends at home when the pressures of the wider world are least felt, and a good few hours can be spent with your favorite blend. This one is the billiard variant in Peterson’s craggy, weathered-stone rustication, and features the make’s renowned P-lip stem.

The condition is very good. Some rim darkening.
