Peterson’s Pipe of the Year 2026 revives the historic 493 Squat “Cad” Bulldog, a distinctive shape with roots stretching back to the late 19th century. Broad, low-slung, and unmistakably Peterson, the 493 combines the traditional Bulldog silhouette with a stout profile and substantial presence in hand.

This edition features Peterson’s rugged Rusticated finish, with deep texture and subtle reddish highlights that emphasize the shape of the bowl. A broad sterling silver mount provides a bright contrast to the dark briar and pairs with a traditional vulcanite P-Lip stem. Part of Peterson’s annual Pipe of the Year series, the 2026 release offers a rare opportunity to own this historic archival shape in a characteristically Irish presentation.
