Cobble (999) P-Lip Tobacco Pipe

Defined by a Bulldog bowl and round shank, the Rhodesian is a classic shape that's enjoyed a place on traditional pipe charts for well over a century. On Peterson's chart, the age-old form is designated as the "999," showcasing everything pipe smokers love about the traditional shape — hard lines around the bowl; a tapering rim; and a stout, muscular disposition in hand — while also boasting the Irish marque's conventional shaping cues. The bowl tapers above and below the design's defining beadlines, while the rim barely rises above the transition thanks to the extra heft lent to the shank — a signature stylistic element of Peterson.

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.
