Peterson Pipes Pipe of the Year 2026 Cobble P-Lip

For 2026 Peterson reached back to 1896 for its Pipe of the Year: the 493 Squat “Cad” Bulldog, one of the oldest shapes still in the Irish marque’s catalog. It is a Bulldog in the muscular Peterson idiom — a broad, low-slung bowl with a crisp twin-bead ring, a stout diamond shank, and a tapered P-Lip stem that keeps the whole profile compact and horizontal.

The Cobble finish gives the briar a densely worked, pebbled texture that catches light like a wet cobblestone street and stays sure in the hand. A bright sterling silver band at the shank marks the edition, and the P-Lip mouthpiece delivers Peterson’s familiar dry, upward-directed draw. A limited annual release, and a natural pick for the collector who wants texture and heft in the classic Peterson shape.
