Peterson: Saint Patrick's Day 2024 Heritage (B42) P-Lip Tobacco Pipe

In 2009, Peterson released the Darwin "B42" shape in commemoration of the sesquicentennial of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species. The English naturalist's seminal work was published in 1859, just 17 years before another Charles would join Fredrick Kapp in founding the longest-standing pipe manufacturer in the world: Kapp & Peterson. The "B42" is a robust bent Apple, displaying an Author-like substance through the shank and transition that exemplifies Peterson's signature aesthetic — a perfect homage, to both Charles Darwin and Charles Peterson himself.

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 the dark, smoky stain of the Heritage series: further enhancing this contrast.
