Facts, not a grade. We do not score a pipe out of ten: a number would rank a restored pipe above an honest one, and restoration is exactly what this hobby prices down. Every line above is checkable by anyone holding the pipe. Lines marked Faridunhill standing declaration rest on our published, dated statement of shop practice (v1.0, 2026-07-29) — not on an inspection of this individual pipe. It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
The entry
This Peterson System Standard represents the classic Irish pipe-making tradition with its distinctive System engineering. The smooth-finished bowl follows the 303 shape, a bent design characterized by its comfortable smoking angle and balanced proportions. The pipe features the proprietary P-lip mouthpiece, which directs smoke upward toward the palate rather than directly at the tongue. As a System pipe, it incorporates Peterson's patented moisture-trapping reservoir and graduated bore designed to deliver a cooler, drier smoke. The smooth finish allows the natural grain of the to show through, typical of the Standard grade.
