Peterson Ashford Range Peterson are well know for taking inspiration from their Irish home. From places and landscapes, colours, weather and history. The Ashford range, first introduced in 2013, takes its name from Ashford castle which is a 13th century castle near the coast of Galway. In a similar finish to the Harp collection the Ashford have been finished in a deep chocolate stain which makes for a beautifully dark and refined looking pipe which is topped off with a Sterling Silver band and army mounted dark cumberland stem which frankly looks stunning.
Peterson Ashford XL17 The Peterson XL17 is a bent Bulldog with generous dimensions. The Bulldog shape has two grooves around the peak of the taper. It is almost apple shaped, which makes for a comfortable hold and tapers more towards the base. The two grooves as-well as being attractive increase the surface area at the thickest part of the bowl, helping the bowl cool in the same way as a car radiator. This in turn helps keep the smoke cool throughout the pipe.
Fishtail mouthpiece: Peterson’s trademark patented mouthpiece is the p.lip design, which has many advantages but unfortunately some smokers just don't get on with it. The Ashford series comes with the fishtail mouthpiece as an alternative for those who don't get on with the P.Lip.
