Peterson Cobble (XL02) (P-Lip) Tobacco Pipe

The "XL02" is, in essence, a fuller-bodied approach to the beloved "03" bent Apple, with added muscularity to the shank and transition. The visual weight of the shank relative to that of the bowl is a hallmark of Peterson's approach to shaping and distinguishes it from what we consider the classic English design of pipe making. It's a great example of the marque's signature aesthetic — the stout shank and voluptuous bowl blending well with the slender angle of the stem and tight transition.

In 2025, Peterson introduced the Cobble finish — the culmination of the Irish firm's years of experimentation with texturing techniques. The Cobble, named after, and as varied as, the cobble bricks that mark the ancient streets of Dublin, combines the finest aspects of Peterson's signature rustication and sandblasting processes, resulting in an intensely craggy, yet detailed texture reminiscent of early 20th century sandblasted pipes. While many marques utilize dual finishes, Peterson's Cobble is more than the sum of its parts, the finish having required various retooling and adjustments across both rustication and sandblasting techniques to achieve something truly unique, especially when paired with the brand's elegant silverwork.
