K & P Peterson’s history

The Peterson's History began in the year 1865 ; the year Charles Peterson opened a small tobacco shop in Dublin. Later in 1875, Charles Peterson approached the Kapp brothers, Fredrich and Heinrich, with a new pipe design and with this, a very long-lived partnership was formed, Kapp & Peterson. This new pipe design is the now famous Peterson Patented System Smoking Pipe. By 1890 , Kapp & Peterson was the most respected pipe and tobacco manufacturer in Ireland and rapidly gaining followers in England and America. In 1898 another of Peterson's remarkable inventions became available, the Peterson-Lip (P-Lip) mouthpiece, also known as the Steck mouthpiece.

An observation; the Kapp Brothers were making pipes as early as the 1850s and in many of the shapes we now associate with Peterson since the Kapp Brothers simply took there existing shapes and incorporated Charles Peterson' s patented design into them. From their inception, Kapp & Peterson's goal was to make a good smoking pipe that the ordinary, common working man could afford.

Please note:

The Peterson Sherlock Holmes series of pipes

Probably the most successful series of pipes ever introduced by Peterson in terms of numbers. They were first issued in 1987 to honour Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous fictitious detective character, Sherlock Holmes . Holmes is perhaps the most famous pipe smoking character in fiction. The pipes, crafted in Ireland from selected Mediterranean sourced briar, are made to honour the novels original characters, places and items encountered by Sherlock Holmes in his various adventures.

- The “Return of Sherlock Holmes” –

The second issue was called "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" - and was based on the success of The “Original Collection”, with seven additional new shapes (the first pipe is "The Rathbone" followed by "The Hudson" , "The Mycroft" , "The Lestrade" , "The Milverton" , "The Strand" and "The Hansom" ) and dedicated wooden rack being created. All similar to the first issue (the “Original Collection”), with extra large bowl sizes and similar Sterling Silver bands with the Sherlock Holmes profile stamp.

This pipe is named:

" The Mycroft"

Named after Holmes's brother. A classy elegant horn shape that is an excellent smoker. This is Peterson shape XL22.
