With its first known appearance dating back to a 1906 catalogue, Peterson's Spigot pipes have long been a mainstay of the storied Irish marque. Known for quality silverwork, the Spigot line puts Peterson's reputation to good use, capping both the shank end and stem base for added reinforcement and elegance, especially when combined with the smooth rimmed sandblasts of the Newgrange Spigot, the contrast stains Flame Grain Spigot, and the dress finishes of the Ebony Spigot.

The Barley Spigot now expands upon that array of finishes. Starting with stummels hand-selected for their cleanliness and consistency, then applying Peterson's artisan grade sandblasting and finally a sterling silver spigot-mount arrangement. The resulting tanblast reveals the wood's natural grain in handsome relief without stain, accentuated by the sterling silver's elegant sheen, and these pipes will develop a natural patina as they're smoked — darkening with character to contrast against the silver.
