Rooted in the pioneering spirit of Charles Peterson’s original design, the System Standard Dark Smooth carries forward a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation. Featuring the hallmark moisture reservoir, graduated bore mouthpiece, military mount, and the time-honored P-Lip bit, this pipe stands as a testament to over a century of tradition. Its deep, burgundy stain and gentle gloss recall the ruby-toned finishes cherished by generations past. Offered in several of Peterson’s most enduring System shapes — including the bold and muscular '307' bent Billiard — it brings a stately new presence to a beloved classic.
