Its engineering and overall design are intertwined with the marque's foundation and raison d'être. They're the invisible source behind Peterson's unique Irish aesthetic — its muscular shank and transition, tubular profile, and generous bend. Yet Charles Peterson's intention and original design language is preserved in each piece to leave the factory. Peterson Pipes still come from the oldest factory for briar pipes in the world. Our collection of Peterson Pipes are all pre-Laudisi productions.
This recognition would turn into worldwide respect, and the team of Kapp and Peterson became one of the most popular pipe manufacturers in the world. Since 1865,the Irish pipe makers have delivered excellent pipes made with precision and care.
Thereafter they condemn all Peterson pipes, based on that poor experience. In 1988 Peterson decided to issue a special Millennium Edition set of two pipes commemorating the City of Dublin's 1000 year founding . The first pipe was a Dublin shape (what else!) and an Oom Paul.
Peterson initially graded their mass -produced System pipes, i.e., regular catalogue pipes "Deluxe", "First Quality", "0" grade, "2nd grade", and "3rd grade". You will also find old Peterson Systems stamped System 4 or System 5. The shape number is also indicative of briar quality; for example, 364 is Peterson's 3rd quality shape number . There was also a miniature version of Sherlock Holmes pipes issued around the same time.
Peterson’s bent Dublin is simply stunning, with a gently tapered curve from shank to the end of the stem. When you pair this elegant shape with the craggy black sandblasted bowl and swirled red... Believed that a man's smoking pipe was a signature piece of his individual style, and Peterson pipes are still made with this idea in mind today. Frederick would soon bring on Latvian immigrant Charles Peterson, and they went about renovating their styles and beginning a brand new way to think about and craft a tobacco pipe. By 1896, they were getting recognized in the 1896 International Tobacco Trades Exhibition in London with two gold medals, for "Best Finished Pipe" and "Best Patent Pipe."
In the early 1990s Kapp & Peterson made this giant, classic full bent, smooth pipe exclusively for Bonds of Oxford Street London. Bonds seem to have an endless source of New Old Stock Peterson pipes. I am always intrigued by these pipes when they arrive by post. Inevitably they come in their original packaging and to my mind, are a window back in time.
The pre-republic Peterson's are often considered to be rather special by Peterson pipe smokers.They hark back to a time when quality briar was in abundance and craftsmanship was of the highest level. Like all collecting desirables, pre-republic pipes are now relatively hard to come by, with availability declining with each passing year. The amazing thing that I find with pre-Republic's is the consistently high smoking qualities that they show, regardless of being a high or low grade issue. No it is not that I am looking through rose tinted glasses and being sentimental, they really were very well made.
We’re committed to industry-leading prices, exceptional service, the biggest selection, and overwhelming charm. No nonsense, just great cigars delivered fast, fresh, and discounted….beware of imitators. Click on any link or image below to view all of the available pipe shapes in each of the Peterson lines. Today, Peterson, run by Thomas Palmer, makes about 100,000 pipes annually, distributed all over the world. After Europe, the United States is the largest market with 12-15% of Peterson's production. Please confirm that you are over the age of 18 to continue.
In 1899, Peterson opened the first in a series of several successive shops in London, England, that lasted until the late 1960s/70s. Around 1916, Peterson began stamping their pipes "Made in Ireland" in what is referred to as a block format. Found something you love but want to make it even more uniquely you?
I am privileged in that I have a good variety of both entry and higher grade Peterson Pipes within my collection. In my humble opinion, Peterson have been consistent throughout their production of higher end pipes, in replicating a tradition of Celtic quality, at very reasonable prices. 1987 saw the introduction and Issue of the first Sherlock Holmes 'Original' Series of pipes. The Sherlock Holmes series is probably the most successful series of pipes ever introduced by Peterson in terms of numbers. It was first issued to honour Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous fictitious detective character, Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is perhaps the most famous pipe smoking character in fiction.
