Just like the 11S, this 8S comes from the same early era of Peterson production, when the quality of the briar—and the craftsmanship—was simply on another level. The old Algerian briar used here explains why the pipe is unbelievably lightweight, and also why it has that unmistakable warm feel in the hand.

For some reason I don’t want to separate the two sister pipes — this 8S and the 11S from my previous listing — and that is the only reason I decided to part with this beauty. I mean, it even has a stunning straight grain…

A wonderful piece of Peterson history, ready to be enjoyed by the next collector.
