Irish Estates: Peterson Kerry (X105) (Fishtail) Tobacco Pipe

The "106," "107," and "X105" are all robust variations of the straight Billiard from Peterson. While each one showcases the Irish marque's conventional robustness at the shank and transition, this "X105" trims down that aesthetic just a tad by comparison, presenting a more traditionally English style. That said, it still offers more substance than, say, the "06" or "15" iterations. Such a diverse portfolio of classic shapes allows Peterson to cater to all preferences of length, chamber depth, and weight — with the "X105" finding a perfect balance between extremes.

Peterson's Kerry series dresses pipes in a smoky walnut stain, accented by alternating bands of nickel and brass, and completed by a luminescent acrylic stem of creamy yellow tones. All of these elements combine to lend this piece a sense of traditional allure while the Irish marque's charming accent work provides a subtle dose of flash.
