Peterson: Donegal Rocky (605) Fishtail Tobacco Pipe

Similar to the "606" and "608" from Peterson, the "605" Pot exudes the Irish marque's muscular style, but it also presents a few notable revisions. Compared to its counterparts, the shank and stem of the "605" are markedly trimmer and lengthier, eschewing Peterson's typically tubular aesthetic in favor of a lithe and elegant profile. However, the bowl is also substantially stouter, making the "605" ideal for those who prefer pipes of a lightweight demeanor but don't want to sacrifice chamber capacity.

Named after County Donegal in northwest Ireland, Peterson's Donegal Rocky series offers one of the Irish firm's most distinctive and immediately recognizable finishes. Much like the mountainous region it's inspired by, the rustication style of the Donegal Rocky line is incredibly craggy and provides plenty of stimulating texture, transforming any pipe that wears it into a rugged workhorse smoker. Peterson's first rusticated finish, the Donegal Rocky dates back to 1945, and is presented here with a bright nickel band offering a touch of refinement against the dark, red-tinged stain of the stummel.
