Description
Peterson Barley Spigot Sterling Silver With Acrylic Cumberland Stem Shape 999 1/2 Bent Rhodesian
The Peterson Barley Spigot is a premium, limited-series pipe featuring hand-selected, high-grade briar with a natural, unstained virgin finish and a crisp sandblast. It is characterized by luxurious sterling silver spigot mounts and warm, natural briar tones, paired with comfortable, Cumberland-patterned acrylic fishtail stems.
Key Features & Aesthetics
- The Barley Finish: This finish uses a crisp, tan sandblast on “virgin” briar stummels that have been specifically selected for their lack of imperfections. It showcases the wood’s organic grain in sharp relief with only a subtle natural stain.
- Sterling Silver Spigot: The hallmark of this line is the hallmarked sterling silver spigot mount, which reinforces both the shank end and the stem base. This allows the pipe to be disassembled even while hot without risking damage.
- Unique Patina: Because of the natural, light-colored finish, the briar will gradually darken and gain character as it is smoked, creating a beautiful contrast against the bright silver over years of use.
- Stem Details: These pipes typically feature a Cumberland-patterned acrylic stem or high-quality vulcanite, depending on the specific release, finished with a comfortable fishtail bit.
The “999” Shape (Bent Rhodesian)The 999 shape is one of Peterson’s most legendary designs, often referred to as the “John Bull”. Its characteristics include:
- Stout Proportions: A muscular, squat bowl with a thick, rounded shank that provides a substantial feel in the hand.
- Rhodesian Styling: The bowl features a tapered rim and twin beadlines around its widest point, combining the classic bulldog’s bowl structure with a round shank rather
