Peterson Spigot Natural 606 Smooth Straight Pot 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 Spigot series display the make’s signature silversmithing in all its glory. Each pipe is fitted with a sterling silver spigot mount, providing it extra durability and a hearty dose of elegance. Judging by the stain, this looks to be from the Natural Spigot subseries (or an older equivalent), whose stummels are specially selected for their superior grain pattens. In the case of this one, there’s bird’s-eye galore on the bowl, which the stain allows to shine much on its own accord.

The condition is great. Some minor, inner rim darkening.
