Peterson System Standard Heritage #312

The Peterson System is the pipe that made the brand famous. Charles Peterson patented its key features in Dublin in the 1890s, and the design still smokes as dry and cool today as it did then. A reservoir in the shank traps moisture before it reaches the stem, and a graduated bore smooths the draw. The P-Lip bit sends smoke upward and away from your tongue, which helps prevent bite. The System Standard Heritage pairs that design with a rich, dark stain and a subtle gloss that recalls Peterson’s classic ruby-toned pipes, finished with a polished nickel military mount.

This is the 312, one of the largest and sturdiest shapes in the System line. It’s a full bent billiard with a tall bowl, thick insulating walls, and a muscular shank that shows off Peterson’s house style. The deep chamber holds a generous fill for a long, unhurried smoke, and the full bend lets the pipe rest easily in the hand or between the teeth. It’s made in Ireland and built to last for decades. It’s an excellent choice for a smoker’s first System pipe or a seasoned collector’s next one.
