Peterson Pipes: Pipe of the Year 2026 Heritage P-Lip

Peterson's Pipe of the Year remains one of the Irish marque's most eagerly awaited releases, and their 2026 edition celebrates one of the firm's oldest and most distinctive shapes. Peterson's 2026 Pipe of the Year is the 493 Squat "Cad" Bulldog, a shape appearing in the marque's catalog as early as 1896. With its broad, low-slung bowl and stout horizontal profile, the "Cad" Bulldog embodies Peterson's characteristically muscular shaping aesthetic. Fitted with a P-Lip mouthpiece and a bright silver accent, the 493 showcases Peterson's celebrated engineering and silverwork and is dressed here in one of the marque's gorgeous Heritage finishes.
