Peterson: Arklow Sandblasted (85) Fishtail Tobacco Pipe

Joining Peterson's "86" and "87" shapes, the "85" is a straight Apple rendition with a plump, rounded bowl. Out of those Apple iterations, though, the "85" is the most svelte and streamlined version, forgoing the often muscular proportions championed by the Irish marque in favor of a sleek and streamlined motif that prioritizes a petite overall size and lightweight profile. As such, it's ideal for those who appreciate smaller interpretations of classic shapes and perfect as a reliable travel companion and on-the-go pipe.

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.
