Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (264) Fishtail

Long of shank and short of stem, the Canadian stretches the briar into an elegant horizontal line, poised and unmistakably refined. This 264 is a generously long take on the shape. Aran’s dark, silky walnut stain gives the smooth briar a quiet, hand-rubbed glow, ringed with a bright nickel ferrule where shank meets stem, finished with a jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem.

A slightly dressier everyday Peterson, the nickel band lending a bit of polish — well suited to the smoker who favours a slender, reach-y straight pipe with classic manners.
