Description

The Peterson Aran 05 Fishtail Pipe in Rustic finish captures the raw, windswept spirit of Ireland’s Aran Isles, meticulously handcrafted by Peterson of Dublin from premium Corsican briar. This distinctive full-bent Calabash shape features a dramatically flared, bell-like bowl atop a sturdy, muscular saddle shank, ensuring impeccable balance whether pocketed or clenched. Measuring approximately 124mm in length, 51mm in bowl height, and weighing a mere 49g, its ergonomic form suits extended sessions. The signature rusticated texture, achieved through deep, rugged sandblasting, mimics craggy Atlantic cliffs, concealing minor imperfections while promoting cooler smoking through enhanced surface area and superior grip. A warm, earthy stain enhances the briar’s natural patina, with birdseye flickers peeking through the tactile finish. Fitted with a jet-black vulcanite fishtail mouthpiece—tapered for comfort and optimised draw—this non-filtered design delivers unadulterated flavour. The elegant sterling silver band adds refined contrast and structural poise. Boasting a generous 38mm chamber depth, it yields 45 minutes of contemplative pleasure, excelling with robust Virginias, Latakia mixtures, or aromatic blends. Renowned for Peterson’s graduated bore engineering, it dissipates heat and moisture effortlessly, promising enduring performance and evolving character with each cake laid down.
