Red Spigot (87) Fishtail by Peterson

Peterson’s “87” is a timeless straight Apple rendered in the Irish marque’s unmistakably bold style. The shape features a slightly heavier shank relative to the bowl, lending a reassuring sense of substance, while the tapered stem keeps the pipe well balanced in hand and mouth. Robust yet refined, the 87 upholds Peterson’s tradition of hearty proportions without becoming unwieldy.

The bowl offers generous capacity—ample enough to fully enjoy your favorite tobacco—while remaining compact enough for a relaxed, manageable smoke. It’s a versatile shape that feels equally suited to daily rotation or more contemplative moments.

Peterson’s celebrated silverwork is proudly showcased in the Spigot line. Introduced in 1977 following the rediscovery of a 1906 Peterson catalog, the Spigot series highlights the brand’s sterling silver craftsmanship with mounts fitted to both the shank end and stem base. Each silver component is hand-worked by highly trained silversmiths, with subtle individuality imparted through the artisan’s personally crafted mandrel. This spigot-mount construction adds strength and durability while displaying more sterling silver than a standard military mount.

Finished in Peterson’s striking Red stain, the warm ruby briar pairs beautifully with the bright sterling silver, evoking a refined dress pipe aesthetic reminiscent of Dunhill’s classic Bruyere finish. Elegant, dependable, and richly traditional, the Red Spigot (87) is a superb expression of Peterson’s enduring craftsmanship.
