Originally 'Rathbone' from the 'Sherlock Holmes' series of pipes Peterson released in the 1980s, this Bent billiard possesses an unusually lofty bowl, nearly verging upon the proportions of a Stack. The heaviness of the stem, as well as the way in which it bends, however, gives it more of the feel of a bent Dublin, strangely enough. Nevertheless, it's a handsome piece, and the old-time feel of the Kinsale rustication brings together splendidly the final presentation.
