Peterson Carroll of Carrollton 2024 Heritage 43/248 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.

First debuting in 2021, Peterson’s limited-edition Carroll of Carrollton series pays tribute to Irish-American signatory to the US Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll (also Maryland’s first senator), and to the great bond between Ireland and America more generally. For the 2024 release – limited to only 248 pieces – Peterson chose a tavern pipe, or demi-warden, length rendition of the tomato shape found commonly in pipes during the very birth of briar. This one, numbered 43 out of 248, wears Peterson’s dark brown Heritage finish.
