The Peterson Christmas collection is one of the Irish marque’s longest running traditions. Since 2009, the series has placed familiar Peterson shapes into seasonal finishes that feel festive without losing the practical character of a well made briar pipe. The 2026 edition returns to the Deluxe System line with broad copper mounts and a deep red and black rustication that gives each pipe a classic holiday presence.

The 12.5 is a traditional Peterson Bent Apple, a compact shape defined by its rounded bowl, slightly forward cant, and comfortable bent stem. The Apple form gives the pipe a stout, balanced silhouette, while the rusticated finish provides texture and visual depth across the briar bowl. At 5.21 inches long and 1.60 ounces, the 12.5 is substantial enough to feel secure in the hand without becoming cumbersome.

Peterson’s Deluxe System construction includes the company’s moisture reservoir, a graduated bore, and a military mount configuration. The reservoir collects moisture in the shank before it reaches the mouthpiece, while the P Lip stem directs smoke upward across the palate. The copper military mount also allows the stem to be removed for cleaning while the pipe is still warm, a useful feature for regular smokers.

The 1.24 inch chamber depth and 0.68 inch chamber diameter make the Christmas 2026 12.5 a versatile choice for Virginia, Virginia and Perique, English, aromatic, and Burley based mixtures. Its compact chamber supports a shorter bowlful than Peterson’s larger System shapes, making this Bent Apple well suited to a morning smoke, an afternoon break, or a relaxed evening session.
