Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (XL90) P-Lip

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 P-Lip bit.

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.
