Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (03) P-Lip

The bent Apple rounds the classic globe bowl and tips it toward the jaw, a soft, comfortable form that all but disappears in the hand. This 03 is a comfortably mid-sized take on the shape. A deep walnut stain settles over the smooth briar with an understated sheen, ringed with a bright nickel ferrule where shank meets stem, 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 an easy clencher who likes to smoke hands-free through unhurried hours.
