Short Army 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.

Introduced in 2023, Peterson's Short Army series features an aesthetic similar to the Irish Made Army and Army Filter series, centering its design on the army mount configuration of the shank and stem. The line comprises shapes from Peterson's aptly titled Short series, maintaining Nosewarmer proportions throughout, keeping the pipes short and compact while the domed mount provides contrast against the stummel. Eminently pocketable and travel friendly, the Short Army comes paired with a trim P-Lip fitted via a sturdy army mount of nickel. The series comprises a trio of different finishes, including a dark, chestnut-stained smooth finish; a crisp sandblast; and a dark, craggy rustication. Sure to make for a valued travel companion or designated jaw hanger, the pipes in the Short Army line provide a powerful amount of utility in a petite package.
