Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (124) Fishtail

The bent Dublin marries a conical, rim-flaring bowl to a curved stem, lively up top and comfortable at the teeth. A full, deeply bent example of the shape, this 124 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 a jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem.

A slightly dressier everyday Peterson, the nickel band lending a bit of polish — well suited to anyone who wants the Dublin’s elegance with the easy clench of a bent shape.
