Peterson Pipes Deluxe Classic Natural (268) Fishtail

The Zulu tilts a Dublin-ish bowl over an oval shank and bent stem, rakish and a little old-fashioned in the best way. This 268 is a comfortably mid-sized take on the shape, cut from a stummel chosen for its grain.

Left light and natural, the smooth bowl puts its standout grain front and centre. The shank wears the series’ hallmark extra-broad sterling silver band, hand-set in the Peterson workshop, paired with a jet-black vulcanite fishtail stem. A premium, archival-revival Peterson with real sterling silver and standout grain — well suited to anyone who wants a characterful bent shape away from the usual rounds.
