Peterson Sherlock Holmes Professor 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.

The Professor was one of the original designs for the make’s Sherlock Holmes collection, and was designed by the great Paddy Larrigan. It is an almost egg-like bent billiard with a generous chamber and a bold, broad stature that still retains a good helping of elegance and old fashioned charm.

The condition is great. Some minor rim darkening.
