Peterson: Arklow 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.

Originally, the Arklow series was a limited release from Peterson, exclusive to Smokingpipes. However, in 2020, the line was re-introduced as part of the Irish marque's standard lineup. The Arklow showcases Peterson's in-house sandblasting process, which utilizes an artisan-style setup for more individual control when finishing each pipe. Dressed in a rustic, walnut stain and fitted with a nickel army mount and fishtail stem, the Arklow line presents pipes that display the briar's natural grain patterns in stunning relief, beautifully combining rugged and elegant aesthetics.
