Peterson Arklow Rhodesian 999 Sandblasted Fishtail

The Peterson Arklow 999 Rhodesian Sandblasted Fishtail is a tobacco pipe with an excellent quality/price ratio, perfect for beginners or experienced smokers.

Its shape is marked by the manufacturer with the number 999, corresponding to the curved Rhodesian shape. Upon inspection, this pipe features a well-sized, roomy bowl and a muscular shank.

In this case, the bowl is perfect for Virginia tobacco blends.

The Peterson Arklow 999 Rhodesian Sandblasted Fishtail is therefore a tobacco pipe comfortable to use on any occasion and elegant and classic with its wide, polished ferrule.

With its broad, low, and composed bowl, a polished negative rim, and well-balanced proportions, this Peterson "999" is easily one of the most iconic shapes produced by the Irish company.

The absence of sharp edges and elegant proportions create a surprisingly refined interpretation of the classic Rhodesian shape, far removed from the squat, muscular shaping style typically associated with the historic Irish company Peterson.

Cylindrical Volumes and Tobacco Bowl: The shank is perfectly cylindrical and connects to a bowl, which is also perfectly cylindrical.

Traditional Tenon and Shank Mortise: The mouthpiece features a traditional tenon that fits securely into the shank mortise.

Good Bowl Capacity: The internal combustion chamber provides a generous volume, ideal for holding tobacco loads suitable for extended smoking sessions.

Perfect Cylindrical Drilling: The drilling is rigorously cylindrical along the entire bowl.

Originally, the Arklow series was a limited edition Peterson, exclusive to the North American market.

This created a curved Rhodesian pipe, perfect for tasting Virginia tobaccos.

However, in 2020, the line was reintroduced as part of the Irish brand's standard range.

The Arklow showcases Peterson's in-house sandblasting process, which uses an artisanal setting for more individual control over the finish of each pipe.

Dressed in a sandblasted walnut finish and featuring an army-style nickel ferrule and an acrylic fishtail mouthpiece, the Peterson Arklow line features pipes that highlight the natural patterns of boxwood in striking relief, beautifully combining a rugged and elegant aesthetic.

Peterson pipes, personally and exclusively handcrafted, are the fruit of long and painstaking work at the company's headquarters in south Dublin, home to one of the oldest pipe factories in the world: Peterson of Dublin.

Peterson Arklow pipes are characterized by a classic, harmonious shape, elegance, and practicality.

Peterson Arklow pipes are carved from the finest, most precious briar and embellished with a metal ferrule.

The briar is enhanced by an 11 mm metal ferrule engraved with the Peterson trademarks.

The shape is a classic Rhodesian, medium-sized, very attractive, and comfortable to hold.

The mouthpiece lacks the 9 mm filter to reduce tobacco toxins, and it does not feature Peterson's Standard System reservoir.

Each Peterson Irish pipe is unique and one-of-a-kind. The exterior finish may vary slightly from the image, as each briar pipe is unique.

The variations are only in the shades of the briar; the dimensions and shape remain the same.
