Like candy canes, carolling, and the Catalonian Tió de Nadal, Peterson's special edition Christmas pipe has been a holiday tradition since its first edition back in 2009. While a lot of previous year's editions focused heavily on festive colours — red bands on green pipes, green bands on red pipes, red and green bands on walnut stained pipes, and so on — this year's entry goes for something more evocative than symbolic. A burgundy rustication adorns the stummel, bedecked with a copper military mount, matching stem logo, and cumberland-patterned acrylic stem — a handsomely reserved, subtly festive palette that's perfect for the coming holiday.
