Peterson Pipes Aran Smooth Nickel Mounted (999) P-Lip

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. The smooth bowl wears Aran’s classic walnut stain with a soft, low-key shine, 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 smoker who likes a classic form with a quiet decorative flourish.
