Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Image Petersonpipe.jpg thumb 222px right A 2007 Peterson Pipe of the Year Peterson is an Ireland Irish Smoking pipe tobacco pipe maker. File A Peterson pipe.jpg thumb A Peterson pipe History Friedrich and Heinrich Kapp, Germany German immigrants to Ireland from N rnberg , founded the famed Kapp Brothers store on Grafton Street , Dublin in 1865. Shortly thereafter, a Latvian people Latvian immigrant, Charles Peterson, strolled into the Kapp workshop and declared that he could make better pipes than they could. Armed with an imaginative flair for pipes and a craftsman s background, Peterson not only proved himself correct, but became the third partner in the fledgling firm. Today, Peterson, run by Thomas Palmer, makes about 100,000 pipes annually, distributed all over the world. After Europe , the US is the largest market with 12 15 of Peterson s production. Pipes Image Peterson cutaway.jpg thumb A Peterson Dry System Pipe cutaway Perhaps the most notable design from the Kapp and Peterson factory was Peterson s famed Dry System pipes, patented in 1894. Featuring a small reservoir intended to collect moisture before it reaches the smoker, the System Pipe is designed to create a drier and cooler smoke and discourage the formation of dottle . The System Pipe is still a consistent top seller for Peterson. Another notable design from Peterson is the so called P lip a mouthpiece that directs smoke upwards towards the roof of the mouth instead of the tongue. This is intended to produce a drier and less biting smoke than when smoke is directed at the tongue, as with other pipes.
