Peterson: Saint Patrick's Day 2024 Rusticated (314) P-Lip Tobacco Pipe

One of Peterson's smallest and lightest bent Billiards, the System "314" is marked by a curvaceous and diminutive profile. It still displays the Irish marque's conventional shaping cues — the shank and transition continuing the bowl's stoutness — just in a smaller, more compact overall size. It's the perfect pipe for those drawn to Peterson's signature style and System engineering but desire a more versatile pocket pipe.

Peterson's longest-standing annual release, the Irish marque's St. Patrick's Day line debuted in 1998. The series is among the marque's most celebrated and highly anticipated releases, and like previous versions, the 2024 rendition pays homage to Kapp & Peterson's storied Irish heritage with a color palette befitting the Emerald Isle. Comprising an assortment of iconic Peterson's shapes in five different finishes, all with System engineering, this release's standout feature is the vibrant green acrylic military mount which replaces the standard nickel variety. The fitment offers a rich dose of contrast to the composition, especially against the black acrylic P-Lip stem, and this particular pipe wears a dark stain and a craggy rustication: further enhancing this contrast.
