chacom tobacco pipesEnjoy some of the most legendary tobaccos ever made with Peterson.

The second style can be considered “handwritten” or standard block letter, in use from the early 1930s to the present. The Fourth era (Republic) corresponds to the stamp MADE IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND or a shorter version with the abbreviation of the word REPUBLIC.
On 18th April 1949 the Republic of Ireland was proclaimed, now completely independent. Since then there have been no further variations in the country of origin stamp.

Tom also believes that, ”the major changes have been refocussing our outlook on the smoker and given him variety and something to look forward to every year.”
The natural Walnut finish harkens back to the comparable preRepublic bowls. I have found that there is a clear dichotomy of opinion on the views of pipe smokers on the Rosslare series, they either ‘love ’em or loath them’. Taking inspiration from Celtic art, stretching back over 1000 years. Peterson have created this series of pipes, the main feature of which, is the unique Celtic Knot design on the hallmarked sterling silver band.
The higher grade Celtic natural finish series of pipes is not cheap to purchase, being at the top end of the higher grade pipes. They usually retail at around $300 – $400, and similar in quality to the Royal Irish series, they are comparatively rare and scarce, with few retailers currently offering them for sale. On looking back over the previous Peterson history, Tom considered that most changes should come in the extension to the main pipe range and with the regular issuing of new shapes and series.
The Peterson Tobacco Company has been a family business since 1865 and has been manufacturing pipe tobacco that is famous throughout the world. The pre-republic Peterson’s are often considered to be rather special by Peterson pipe smokers.They hark back to a time when quality briar was in abundance and craftsmanship was of the highest level. Like all collecting desirables, pre-republic pipes are now relatively hard to come by, with availability declining with each passing year. The amazing thing that I find with pre-Republic’s is the consistently high smoking qualities that they show, regardless of being a high or low grade issue. No it is not that I am looking through rose tinted glasses and being sentimental, they really were very well made. What makes the Peterson brand unique is their ‘Dry System’ pipes, which feature a small reservoir designed to collect moisture before it reaches the smoker.
From pipe pouches to rustic tampers and sleek lighters, our accessories complement our tradition of craftsmanship, each tailored to pair elegantly with our pipes. These are exceptional pipes for the top quality of briar, fine gold and silver mounts, shape and finish. These special pipes, all of which are silver mounted, are rare and a limited number are available each year. Shapes can vary depending on availability of suitable raw materials”. At the end of the eighties just as the Sherlock Holmes range was being issued, Peterson reintroduced the modern Captain Pete series. The pipe bowls on these modern versions are all based on the Sherlock Holmes shapes.
As well as the traditional Walnut finish, there are also additional colour choices with red and ebony, plus rusticated and sandblast. Prices can vary considerably from around $88 for a basic finish System and up to $250 for a Deluxe. The Peterson Pipe legend began in 1865 when the Kapp brothers of Nurnberg opened an elegant tobacconist shop on Grafton Street, Dublin. They soon made a name for themselves making and selling quality Meerschaum and Briar Root pipes. One day Charles Peterson walked into the Kapp Brothers’ Grafton Street premises armed with a revolutionary tobacco pipe and ambitious plans for the future.
