Peterson: Saint Patrick's Day 2024 Heritage (317) P-Lip Tobacco Pipe

Alongside the "314," Peterson's "317" bent Billiard presents one of the Irish marque's most compact pipes within their System lineup. The proportions of the shank and transition still showcase Peterson's penchant for robust muscularity, but the overall size remains conveniently smaller compared to their other bent Billiard renditions, making the "317" an ideal choice for those interested in Peterson's signature shaping style and patented System engineering, but who prefer briars of more pocket-friendly sensibilities.

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.
