Peterson: Dracula Sandblasted (XL90) Fishtail Tobacco Pipe

The largest, most stoutly proportioned bent Billiard within Peterson's standard shape chart, the "XL90" showcases the Irish marque's penchant for increased muscularity and robust style of shank and transition. It defines Peterson's signature reinvention of pipe chart standards with a substantial presence in hand, generous chamber depth, and well-balanced bent profile.

One of the Irish marque's most striking and colorful series within their standard fare, Peterson's Dracula line draws inspiration from Bram Stoker's classic novel to offer a color palette worthy of the Count himself. Here, a jet-black sandblast adorns the bowl coinciding with the inky swirls overtop the blood-red acrylic stem. A regal band of bright nickel separates stem from stummel and juxtaposes an elegant appeal against the rest of the piece's spooky aesthetic — similar to Dracula's own aristocratic, yet horrific nature. Like Peterson's Sherlock Holmes series, the Dracula line is a worthy homage to historic literature from one of the pipe industry's most historic marques.
