Peterson Pipes Aran Rusticated (128) Fishtail

The bent Dublin marries a conical, rim-flaring bowl to a curved stem, lively up top and comfortable at the teeth. This 128 is a comfortably mid-sized take on the shape. Aran’s rustication gives the briar a grippy, lived-in surface above the line’s warm walnut stain, finished with a jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem.

A characterful, value-priced daily workhorse with no delicate finish to baby — well suited to anyone who wants the Dublin’s elegance with the easy clench of a bent shape.
