Over 100,000 pipes are made every year at the Peterson factory; traditionally most are smoked in the UK & Europe, but increasingly more are being enjoyed by smoker’s worldwide.

Then, recently, they added a bunch of the previously Dunhill-branded tobaccos, like My Mixture 965, Nightcap, Early Morning, Elizabethan Mixture, De Luxe Navy Rolls, Peterson Flake, and The Royal Yacht Pipe Tobacco. These are all in addition to their classic lines like Sweet Killarney, Sunset Breeze, Irish Flake, Peterson 3 P's, and more. Peterson's opinion is that people would get a pipe for two reasons. The first is the enjoyment you get from smoking quality pipe tobacco. The second is you get a specific pipe because of the "inherent beauty that is in the pipe."

Then one day a Latvian immigrant, Charles Peterson, strolled into the Kapp workshop and declared that he could make better pipes than they. Armed with an imaginative flair for pipes and a craftsman's background, Peterson not only proved himself correct, but became the third partner in the fledgling firm. Perhaps the most notable design from the Kapp and Peterson factory was Peterson's famed 'Dry System' pipes, patented in 1894.
