Peterson Pipe Of The Year 2023 Smooth Limited Edition 696/1100 P Lip Pipe (PE2388)

The first Peterson patents awarded to Peters in the 1890’s would revolutionise the pipe-making world and turn a fledgling idea into what has become the oldest continuously operating pipe-maker in the world.

Peterson are the oldest briar pipe makers in the world, still using hand tools for each and every pipe, and still checking everything by eye.

Since 1997, Peterson have offered a special edition Pipe of the Year: a series focused entirely around one singular shape, often inspired or revived from their archives and presented in a number of their most iconic finishes. 2020's Pipe of the Year was modelled after the original 9BC shape, a design dating to the days of Charles Peterson himself, evolving from the original patent shape.

This year, Peterson have revived the original X160 presenting the iconic design as it appeared generations ago, complete with a softly rounded, egg like bowl, deeply curved 'swan neck' bend and their signature P-lip mouthpiece - the final patent of which celebrates its 125th anniversary this year.

Elevated by modern innovations in manufacturing, these revived classics are available in a variety of finishes each topped by a bright sterling silver military mount handcrafted by their most experienced smiths. As the Peterson Pipe of the Year for 2023, the X160 provides an extraordinary link to Peterson's history and enduring tradition of craftmanship.

Presented in an original Peterson pouch and box.
