Please note the Prince now comes with a nickel band on the shank in line with the other Peterson Churchwardens.
The cool smoking characteristics of a Churchwarden pipe combined with the quality craftsmanship and smoking characteristics associated with Peterson pipes.
It is well documented that Churchwarden pipes smoke cooler than standard pipes, which is due to the extra distance the smoke has to travel. This gives the smoke more time to cool. Churchwardens are also known as Reading pipes as the bowl is kept away from the face allowing the smoker to read a book at the same time.
The Peterson Churchwarden Rustic Prince is a sandblasted, Apple shaped bowl with an extra long Vulcanite stem. The Prince has a fairly small bowl size and bore, which keeps the weight down and can be hung without support. The Apple shape is comfier in the hand but also aids in cooling. The apple shape has a thicker wall towards the base, which is where the pipe usually gets hotter. The Rustic finish also aids in cooling as more surface area is in contact with the air outside.
Fishtail mouthpiece: Petersons trademark patented mouthpiece is the p.lip design, which has many advantages but unfortunately some smokers just don't get on with it. The Donegal series comes with the fishtail mouthpiece as an alternative for those who don't get on with the P.Lip.
