About This Pipe
While the "408" does display Prince-like elements, the "406" is Peterson's definitive take on the classic Prince shape. Seemingly plucked straight from a vintage English catalog, the profile displays the design's characteristically long, slightly downturned stem, informing its reputation for elegance. The bowl is squat and plump, with perhaps some extra heft to its base, per Peterson's signature shaping style, but the shank and transition are decidedly trimmer, catering more to traditional Anglo-French proportions than the robust, muscular aesthetic seen throughout the Irish marque's portfolio.
In 2025, Peterson introduced the Cobble finish — the culmination of the Irish firm's years of experimentation with texturing techniques. The Cobble, named after, and as varied as, the cobble bricks that mark the ancient streets of Dublin, combines the finest aspects of Peterson's signature rustication and sandblasting processes, resulting in an intensely craggy, yet detailed texture reminiscent of early 20th century sandblasted pipes. While many marques utilize dual finishes, Peterson's Cobble is more than the sum of its parts, the finish having required various retooling and adjustments across both rustication and sandblasting techniques to achieve something truly unique, especially when paired with the brand's elegant silverwork.
