Friedrich and Heinrich Kapp opened their door for business in Dublin's Grafton street in 1865. Soon they made a name for themselves making and selling quality Meerschaum and briar root pipes. It was not long before Charles Peterson walked into the Kapp brothers' Grafton Street premises armed with a revolutionary pipe and ambitious plans for the future. Kapp and Peterson went on to become Dublin's most fashionable and respected manufacturer of fine smoking pipes and tobacco purveyor.
In 1890 Peterson invented a revolutionary new system to be included on many of the pipes in the range. The Peterson System, as it is still known, allowed surplus tobacco moisture to drain into a specially designed reservoir within the carved briar. Coupled with a patented gradiated stem, the Peterson System provides one of the driest smokes ever. We invite you to select from our range of what, for over a century, has been recognized as a great smoking pipe; Peterson, "the thinking man's pipe." (shipping weight 1 lb)
