Peterson Deluxe PSB X105 Sandblasted 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.

Similarly to Dunhill’s Ring Grain designation, Peterson reserves a special place for sandblasted pipes of exceptional quality. These are Peterson’s “PSB,” or “Peterson Special Blast” pipes, which earn this title through their especially deep and craggy finishes, which fully showcase the briar’s natural growth ring patterning. This PSB billiard comes from the Deluxe Classic line, which features a glossy black stain, a sterling silver collar, and a vulcanite stem. It is also from 2020, the year that the PSB designation was inaugurated.

The condition is very good. Some inner rim darkening.
