Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (01) P-Lip

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. Aran’s dark, silky walnut stain gives the smooth briar a quiet, hand-rubbed glow, lifted by a polished nickel band at the shank, finished with Peterson’s signature jet-black vulcanite P-Lip bit, which directs smoke up and away from the tongue.

A slightly dressier everyday Peterson, the nickel band lending a bit of polish — well suited to anyone after a cool-smoking workhorse that still clenches comfortably.
