Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (05) P-Lip

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 comfortably mid-sized take on the shape. A deep walnut stain settles over the smooth briar with an understated sheen, lifted by a polished nickel band at the shank, 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 anyone who wants the Dublin’s elegance with the easy clench of a bent shape.
