Peterson: St. Patrick's Day 2025 Sandblasted (53) Fishtail Tobacco Pipe

Peterson's approach to shaping can best be described as taking classic English and French shapes and imbuing them with a touch more muscularity. Part of this aesthetic was born out of Peterson's patented System engineering requiring a larger shank, but the style has even made its way to non-System Peterson pipes. The "53" Lovat is a fitting example — a classic shape through-and-through, this piece is rendered in quite a compact form, while remaining substantial throughout the shank and transition and housing a respectable chamber.

Peterson's longest-standing annual release, the St. Patrick's Day line debuted in 1998. The series is among the marque's most celebrated and highly anticipated releases, and for the 2025 rendition, Peterson spotlights their esteemed silverwork: embellishing a wide range of their signature shapes with a band of the precious metal. Available across four unique finishes — sandblasted, rusticated, smooth, and Heritage — this line represents the spirit of the Irish marque, and its namesake holiday, with aplomb. This particular example is presented in the sandblasted finish and includes a pipe bag made from hand-woven Irish tweed for stylish and festive carry.
