Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth (68) Fishtail

The bent Brandy curves its snifter-like bowl toward the jaw, all soft swells and a comfortable tilt. This 68 is a comfortably mid-sized take on the shape, with a notably tall bowl for longer, lingering smokes. A deep walnut stain settles over the smooth briar with an understated sheen, finished with a jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem.

An unpretentious Irish everyday smoke from the accessible end of the Peterson range — well suited to the smoker after a sculptural shape that still clenches with ease.
