Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (304) P-Lip

Deeply bent and full-bowled, the Oom Paul sits low and proud, its sweeping curve carrying the bowl well below the jaw in true old-world fashion. This 304 is a comfortably mid-sized take on the shape. 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 Peterson’s signature jet-black vulcanite P-Lip bit, which directs smoke up and away from the tongue.

A slightly dressier everyday Peterson, the nickel band lending a bit of polish — well suited to the clencher who wants a substantial, hands-free smoke with real character.
