Peterson’s Pipe of the Year 2026 brings back the historic 493 Squat “Cad” Bulldog, a distinctive design that can be traced to the marque’s catalogs as early as 1896. Its broad bowl, low profile, and traditional Bulldog beadlines create a muscular silhouette with unmistakable Peterson character.

This edition is presented in a dark Sandblasted finish that brings out the natural grain and texture of the briar. A broad sterling silver mount adds a bright contrast and transitions into Peterson’s traditional vulcanite P-Lip stem. Combining an archival shape with classic Irish finishing, the 2026 Pipe of the Year is a distinctive addition to Peterson’s annual series.
