Killarney (B11) P-Lip Tobacco Pipe

This bottom-heavy bent brandy is a fine example of what the eccentricities of Peterson's "B" series can produce. One could hardly expect a pipe with such a substantial, curved stem to sit half as well, and yet despite its wide, flat "footprint", it's equally at home sitting in the hand. This unusual shape is presented here in the deceptively dark Killarney finish. Deceptive, that is, due to its capacity to suddenly brighten along grain features when the light catches it just right.
