Ireland

Everyone knows that Sherlock Holmes used to smoke a Peterson pipe. And of course everyone knows that Peterson is one of the most popular and traditional Irish brands. It may sound strange but the Peterson (Kapp & Peterson!) company was founded by two German immigrants at the end of XIX century. And mister Peterson was the third companion and also an immigrant from Latvia.

From that time Peterson is definitely stable and successful company. Gentlemen from Dublin use spanish briar for their’s high quality pipes and have invented a lot of technical tricks such as a specific construction of a mouth piece and a separate camera for condensed tar.

As an example – the new and unsmoked pipe marked “Peterson \ OF DUBLIN \ KILLARNEY” and “69”. The lenghts is 13.9 cm, bowl’s hight is 5.0 cm. External and internal diameters of this bowl are 3.0 cm and 2.0 cm. The depth is 4.0 cm and this pipe weights 34 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, 9 mm filter. The pipe is unsmoked. A box and a bag are included.
