Among the first Patent shapes introduced by Charles Peterson in 1896, this antique Bent Brandy design was a favorite of Mark Twain, whose own rendition of the shape remains on display at the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum in Hannibal, Missouri. Complete with muscular proportions, a thick transition, a slightly tapered bowl, and a deep bend, the design epitomises our signature House Style as it's existed for over 150 years.

Our 2022 Pipe of the Year is the most exacting and precise reissue of a classic Peterson shape that we have yet to execute. It's an accurate shape rendition of the original 14B Patent as it was produced in our workshop six generations ago. A favorite shape of Mark Twain and many others, it was among the first System pipes introduced by Charles Peterson, originally released in 1896, though 75 years have passed since it last saw production.

Dignified by sterling silver fittings crafted by our own smiths, each 2022 Pipe of the Year features our patented P-Lip design as well as our iconic Peterson wear gap emphasising its historic roots. It's presented here in our iconic and craggy Rusticated finish, further elevated by a sterling silver rim cap.

In addition to our regular production ranges, we also offer a number of limited-edition series unique to each year. These lines celebrate our rich history and tradition of craftsmanship, often looking to the past in order to innovate for tomorrow. From our annual Saint Patrick's Day and Christmas Pipe series to our singular Pipe of the Year models, these pieces are crafted for true Peterson collectors and enthusiasts.
