Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth (86) Fishtail

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. Aran’s dark, silky walnut stain gives the smooth briar a quiet, hand-rubbed glow, 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 who prefers curves to corners and wants a relaxed all-day shape.
