Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (999) Fishtail

The Rhodesian pairs a squat, rounded bowl with a crisp bead line and a bent stem, a handsome shape with just enough detail to catch the eye. This 999 is a generously long take on the shape. A deep walnut stain settles over the smooth briar with an understated sheen, 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 the smoker who likes a classic form with a quiet decorative flourish.
