Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (05) Fishtail

The bent Dublin marries a conical, rim-flaring bowl to a curved stem, lively up top and comfortable at the teeth. This 05 is a compact take on the shape, with a notably tall bowl for longer, lingering smokes. Aran’s dark, silky walnut stain gives the smooth briar a quiet, hand-rubbed glow, ringed with a bright nickel ferrule where shank meets stem, finished with a jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem.

A slightly dressier everyday Peterson, the nickel band lending a bit of polish — well suited to anyone who wants the Dublin’s elegance with the easy clench of a bent shape.
