Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth (01) Fishtail

The bent Pot keeps the shape’s broad, shallow chamber but curves the stem for the teeth, stout and steady with an easy hang. A full, deeply bent example of the shape, this 01 carries the bowl low for a balanced, hands-free clench. A deep walnut stain settles over the smooth briar with an understated sheen, finished with a jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem.

An unpretentious Irish everyday smoke from the accessible end of the Peterson range — well suited to anyone after a cool-smoking workhorse that still clenches comfortably.
