The first of the famed Irish marque's 'Charles Peterson Collection' — a designation indicated by their "CP" stamp — Peterson's Iora pipes inaugurate a special and prestigious collection of limited, small-run releases that highlight innovation in design and technique. Similar to our own Nassau line of limited edition Petersons, the collection will showcase unique finishes, distinctive shapes, and attention to detail possible only through small-batch production — in honour of Charles Peterson's pioneering spirit and influence on pipe making at large.

The first of these, the Iora series, distinguishes itself with a breathtaking sandblast and contrast stain — generally the domain of handmade artisan pipes. The result is a rich, two-toned motif that simultaneously reveals the briar's grain while also providing an intriguing, dramatic contrast between the two separate stains.

Peterson first revealed their contrast sandblast acumen across 2021's Rua pipes, but instead of a scarlet motif, the Iora series dresses stummels in a woodsy, bucolic palette of dark walnut undertones and bright chestnut highlights, evoking the line's namesake: the squirrel, or iora in the Irish. All Iora pipes are completed by the marque's venerated silverwork, with the majority of the line's shapes bear sterling silver spigot mounts, excepting only the "264" Canadian, which features a traditional silver band to better suit its svelte design.
