Irish Estates: Peterson Short Army Rusticated (102) (P-Lip) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Peterson's "102" Billiard is a remarkably petite take on the classic shape, its trim, well-balanced proportions presenting a more traditionally English-styled rendition of the timeless form. Similar to the marque's "6" Billiard in form, albeit on a slightly smaller scale, the "102" is one of the most diminutive straight Billiards offered by the Irish firm and noticeably forgoes their penchant for bold, muscular shaping cues. That being said, there's still a respectable amount of chamber tucked away inside, making it a perfect choice for those who favor briars of a more modest size.

Introduced in 2023, Peterson's Short Army series features an aesthetic similar to the Irish Made Army and Army Filter series, centering its design on the army mount configuration of the shank and stem. The line comprises shapes from Peterson's aptly titled Short series, maintaining Nosewarmer proportions throughout, keeping the pipes short and compact while the domed mount provides contrast against the stummel. Eminently pocketable and travel friendly, the Short Army comes paired with a trim P-Lip fitted via a sturdy army mount of nickel. The series comprises a trio of different finishes, including a dark, chestnut-stained smooth finish; a crisp, inky sandblast; and a dark, craggy rustication. Sure to make for a valued travel companion or designated jaw hanger, the pipes in the Short Army line provide a powerful amount of utility in a petite package.
