Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (86) P-Lip

Round-shouldered and full-cheeked, the Apple is one of briar’s friendliest forms, its soft spherical bowl sitting naturally in the palm. This 86 is a generously long take on the shape. The smooth bowl wears Aran’s classic walnut stain with a soft, low-key shine, dressed with a polished nickel band at the joint, 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 the smoker who prefers curves to corners and wants a relaxed all-day shape.
