Peterson: Rosslare Spigot (102) Fishtail Tobacco Pipe

Peterson's "102" Billiard is a remarkably petite take on the classic shape, its trim, well-balanced proportions presenting a more traditionally English-styled rendition of the timeless form. Similar to the marque's "6" Billiard in form, albeit on a slightly smaller scale, the "102" is one of the most diminutive straight Billiards offered by the Irish firm and noticeably forgoes their penchant for bold, muscular shaping cues. That being said, there's still a respectable amount of chamber tucked away inside, making it a perfect choice for those who favor briars of a more modest size.

Peterson's Rosslare lines are united by a combination of sterling work from the expert silversmiths of the Sallynoggin factory and bright, sun-inspired acrylic stems. In the Rosslare Spigot line, that silver is featured around the shank end and stem base in a spigot-mount arrangement. The spigot construction provides further reinforcement and durability and highlights even more sterling silver than would be used for a standard military mount. In this smooth example, the Rosslare Spigot's bright silver and vibrant stem produces a strikingly modernist aesthetic that's flashy and calls to mind the early years of pipe making when genuine amber was used to fashion mouthpieces.
