Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (128) P-Lip

The bent Dublin marries a conical, rim-flaring bowl to a curved stem, lively up top and comfortable at the teeth. A full, deeply bent example of the shape, this 128 carries the bowl low for a balanced, hands-free clench. 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.
