Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (150) P-Lip

Angular and assertive, the Bulldog tapers its beaded bowl top and bottom above a diamond shank, a confident shape that stands apart on the rack. This 150 is a generously long take on the shape. The smooth bowl wears Aran’s classic walnut stain with a soft, low-key shine, 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 drawn to geometry and a little swagger in a traditional pipe.
