Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (127) P-Lip

The bent Dublin marries a conical, rim-flaring bowl to a curved stem, lively up top and comfortable at the teeth. This 127 is a comfortably mid-sized take on the shape. Smooth briar under Aran’s dark walnut stain carries a warm, even luster, 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 anyone who wants the Dublin’s elegance with the easy clench of a bent shape.
