Description

Victory Pipes is thrilled to be one of a select number of stores offering these Halloween pipes; Boo! Each pipe has a colour scheme and accents that pay tribute to Dracula, the creation of one of Ireland’s favourite literary sons, Bram Stoker.

About The Shape

The 2024 Hallowe’en Pipes by Peterson of Ireland are now available! This year’s line features slightly smaller bowls and elongated stems, placing the pipes firmly between conventional pipes and a churchwarden. All pipes feature a nickel accent ring with “Dracula” inscribed on the surface, and each pipe comes with a fishtail mouthpiece.

Originally released as one of four Specialty shapes in 1945, the Barrel is Peterson’s take on the sturdy-sitting Poker design, but with a more streamlined shank and stem, and a rounded bowl reminiscent of its namesake.

About the Series

Continuing the marque’s annual limited-edition series, Peterson’s 2024 Halloween Pipe takes inspiration from the beloved Dracula line, featuring the same jet-black finishes and bright metal accents, elevated by elongated, demi-Churchwarden stems of red-and-black acrylic, unique to this year’s edition. Available in a variety of timeless shapes, and in both smooth and sandblasted finishes, Peterson’s Halloween 2024 pipe is not one to miss.

About Peterson of Dublin

In 1874, just one year after receiving a prize medal for his efforts at the 1873 London International Exhibition, German émigré Frederick Kapp moved his pipe retail operation from London to Dublin, Ireland, where he opened a new tobacco and pipe shop, making and selling pipes crafted from meerschaum as well as briar root, a relatively new material to the market. Within a year, Frederick employed a young Latvian woodworker named Charles Peterson to help with production and repairs.

In 1890, after 15 years of handling and repairing multitudes of pipes, and thinking critically about how to improve their design, Peterson applied for and secured a patent in his own name, titled “A certain new and useful improvement in Tobacco-Pipes,” introducing a unique system designed to wick moisture away from the smoke and deliver a fuller tobacco flavor – a design he would continue to improve over the next eight years. By 1896, after winning two gold medals at the International Tobacco Trades Exhibition in London for “Best Finished Pipe” and “Best Patent Pipe,” Charles Peterson, together with Frederick’s son Alfred Henry, had transformed the small pipe shop and smoking parlour into a budding international export factory, introducing the patented System pipe, as well as a host of other Classic designs, to the hands and minds of enthusiasts worldwide, where Kapp & Peterson has remained for generations.

As the oldest continuously operating briar pipe factory in the world, the pipe makers at Peterson have a certain tradition to uphold, a legacy of craftsmanship dating back over 150 years. Whether you’re browsing for your very first pipe or are a seasoned collector in search of a rare gem, know that every pipe in their catalogue carries with it that same preservation of tradition. A Peterson pipe isn’t just a utilitarian tool; it’s a piece of history you can carry with you in your travels, a faithful companion to accompany you through all that life offers.
