Peterson: St. Patrick's Day 2025 Rusticated (XL02) P-Lip Tobacco Pipe

The "XL02" is, in essence, a fuller-bodied approach to the beloved "03" bent Apple, with added muscularity to the shank and transition. The visual weight of the shank relative to that of the bowl is a hallmark of Peterson's approach to shaping and distinguishes it from what we consider the classic English design of pipe making. It's a great example of the marque's signature aesthetic — the stout shank and voluptuous bowl blending well with the slender angle of the stem and tight transition.

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 rusticated finish and includes a pipe bag made from hand-woven Irish tweed for stylish and festive carry.
