Peterson: Emerald Rusticated (129) P-Lip Tobacco Pipe

We often discuss Peterson's signature aesthetic as being muscular and robust, with more visual weight placed on the shank and transition than, even, English-styled pipes. It's this design cue that most readily defines what's come to be known as the Irish style of pipe making. Peterson's "D" shapes, however, took a different approach. Originally produced for the Irish marque's Danish distributor, Larsen and Peterson, around 1996, the "D" line focused on traditional Danish shaping, creating shapes that are more slender and elegantly curved than the hearty Irish style of Peterson's other pieces. Said Danish style is epitomized here in the "129" — once designated as the "D6" — a form free of hard lines and whose curling profile tows the line between Horn and bent Dublin.

Revived in 2022, Peterson's Emerald series resurrects one of the Irish marque's best-selling lines. It presents pipes dressed in the factory's recognizable rustication and decorated with the Emerald line's characteristic brass rings and namesake acrylic accent. Combining Peterson's signature shaping style with a tasteful color palette that evokes Ireland's verdant landscape, this Emerald pipe also features a P-Lip stem of vulcanite, further embodying Peterson's historic reputation for innovation and pipe-smoking comfort.
