Peterson have been making churchwarden pipes since 1845 and are modelled on the old clay tavern pipes. The pipes generally have a small bowl, with a long stem and are exceptional light. These pipes came to be known as churchwardens due to their popularity with the European clergy in the 18th and 19th century. Churchwardens are a house pipe not designed for carrying around in the pocket, exceptionally light and long, the shank is strengthened by the addition of a bright nickel band to help protect this delicate pipe. The Peterson Churchwarden D15 Smooth briar pipe bowl is hand stained a rich walnut colour which shows off the natural grain patterns of the briar. The pipe is finished with a bright nickel mount, a jet black vulcanite stem and a fish tail mouth piece. The Peterson Churchwarden D15 Smooth briar pipe has a tall and strongly tapered Dublin bowl with a prominent heel and sweeping curved stem.
