Description
With a slightly tapered and more rounded style of bowl, Peterson’s “230” bent Billiard forgoes the cylindrical, tubular shaping cues typically seen from the Irish marque. That said, Peterson’s conventionally muscular style of shank and transition is still clearly evident. Despite these hearty proportions, however, the “230” remains a compact pipe in terms of overall length, well suited to hands-free clenching and an excellent choice for travel.
Peterson’s longest-standing annual release, the St. Patrick’s Day line debuted in 1998. The series is among the marque’s most celebrated and highly anticipated releases, and for the 2025 rendition, Peterson spotlights their esteemed silverwork: embellishing a wide range of their signature shapes with a band of the precious metal. Available across four unique finishes — sandblasted, rusticated, smooth, and Heritage — this line represents the spirit of the Irish marque, and its namesake holiday, with aplomb. This particular example is presented in the Heritage finish and includes a pipe bag made from hand-woven Irish tweed for stylish and festive carry.
