Each Year Petersons master craftsmen design and produce a select number of pipes in limited numbers. These products are particularly directed at the pipe connoisseur who can recognise the characteristics of a product which is unique in its material, workmanship and styling. Each one is individually numbered and is limited to only 1000 pieces.
The Peterson pipe of the year 2010 is a high grade half bent, flat bottomed, Zulu shaped bowl with hand crafted, solid silver, mount. It has an extra large bowl as usually found on their special pipes with a generous bore for a good fill. A good thick wall helps keep the pipe cool and therefore more enjoyable smoke. The Silver Mount is hand crafted and fitted by Petersons silver smith, which is hallmarked and stamped with the Peterson logo. This years shape is entirely different from what we have seen in previous years. I have searched pipe charts to find the shape and the closest we have found is a Zulu. Regardless of the name of the shape we like it. Its comfortable in the hand and the flat bottom is going to make this years pipe of the year very desireable. Only one question is it to save on baccy spilages due to the ever increasing price or to stop the wife nagging over the mess of her freshly polished coffee table.
Peterson System: A patented system, which naturally removes tar and moisture from the smoke without restricting the draw. Resulting in a very smooth and dry smoker. We have recommended Petersons to many wet smokers have have returned delighted with the difference.
Fishtail mouthpiece: Petersons trademark patented mouthpiece is the p.lip design, which has many advantages but unfortunately some smokers just don't get on with it. The Pipe of the year 2009 comes with the fishtail mouthpiece as an alternative for those who don't get on with the P.Lip.
