Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (XL90) Fishtail

The bent Billiard is the quiet backbone of any pipe rack, its gentle curve bringing the bowl toward the hand and easing the weight through a long sit. This xl90 is a comfortably mid-sized take on the shape, with a notably tall bowl for longer, lingering smokes. Smooth briar under Aran’s dark walnut stain carries a warm, even luster, dressed with a polished nickel band at the joint, finished with a jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem.

A slightly dressier everyday Peterson, the nickel band lending a bit of polish — well suited to a newer piper after a sure-footed shape, or a seasoned hand who wants a no-drama companion.
