Characterized by its Bulldog bowl and round shank, the Rhodesian is a classic pipe shape that has held a prominent spot in traditional pipe designs for over a century. On Peterson's chart, this timeless form is labeled as the "999," capturing the essence of what pipe smokers appreciate about classic shapes—sharp lines around the bowl, a gently tapering rim, and a robust feel in hand—while also reflecting the distinctive styling cues of the Irish brand. The bowl tapers both above and below the defining beadlines, and the rim subtly rises just above the transition, thanks to the added weight of the shank—a hallmark of Peterson's design.
Following the success of the Dracula line in 2012, Peterson introduced the Jekyll & Hyde series in 2015, paying tribute to another classic literary work. Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 gothic novella, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the story centers on Gabriel John Utterson, a London lawyer, as he investigates the enigmatic Dr. Henry Jekyll and the sinister Edward Hyde. In a twist, both characters are actually the same person; Jekyll’s serum, meant to suppress his darker side, inadvertently transforms him into Hyde, who embodies his inner evil. Reflecting this duality, Peterson’s Jekyll & Hyde series features two contrasting finishes—Dr. Jekyll is adorned with a smooth, ruby-toned stain, while Mr. Hyde is represented by a rugged, dark-stained rustication.
