There are some traditions worth keeping, and Peterson’s St. Patrick’s Day pipes are one of them. Since 1998, they’ve been putting out a special edition each year, giving pipe smokers something to mark the occasion properly. They don’t do things by halves, either—each pipe is made from good, honest briar, finished in a style unique to the year’s release, and usually sporting a bit of silver or nickel banding for that extra touch of class.
If you know Peterson, you know what you’re getting: a solid, well-made pipe with a deep chamber, a comfortable grip, and the option of a P-Lip for those who prefer it. They bring out a range of classic shapes, so there’s something for everyone, whether you fancy a sturdy bent bulldog or a straight billiard that’ll sit neatly between your teeth.
These pipes aren’t just a bit of marketing fluff—they’re made to be smoked, enjoyed, and passed down. And since each year’s batch is a one-time thing, once they’re gone, they’re gone. A fine excuse, if ever you needed one, to add another pipe to the collection.
