Erin Go Bragh Question

[Coreios]

I was looking at Peterson's 05 in a few different models, the Dracula for one. Later I noticed an Erin Go Bragh "05".....is Erin Go Bragh to Peterson, as Rossi is to Savinelli? I tried researching it, got Irish expressions, pub songs, a band.

Also, being cheaper than Peterson is it because of a cheaper finish like Rossi? Thanks.

That is my impression as well. I can’t point to anything that proves it but it seems like I read something about it being the case on a Pipes & Cigars print catalog or such. Perhaps someone else can confirm this but I believe you are correct.

You could simply as Peterson, peterson.ie. No point in doing a lot of research to find the answer to a simple question.

is Erin Go Bragh to Peterson, as Rossi is to Savinelli?

Erin Go Bragh pipes are made in Italy.

I just saw a guy somewhere else say they are a Peterson knock off.

smokingpipes.eu has some Irish Seconds 05's for around $70USD. I saw at least one Dracula earlier today. You'll have to pay about $15 for shipping.

I'm considering an Irish Second to add to the collection.

On P&C website it states their made in Italy. They may be trying to copy the Peterson look. Who knows?

to my eye they look Peterson like but not the same way as Rossi to Sav. Seems more like an attempt at using their style.

Yeah I just read somewhere else a guy saying they were knock off Peterson pipes. They're kind of expensive for a knock off. 75 ish is in the ball park of a Peterson.

to me they have a very Doctor GreyBow look. The edges just aren't quite right. And they seem smaller or less robust then a Peterson. Which is one of the things that Petersons tend towards.

I matched up the measurements for the 05 Peterson VS. Erin 05 and its almost exact. Both are 5.5 length the other measurements are only off by .1. I agree though they have a look to them like things aren't lined up. For the price I'd pay the extra money for a Peterson.

What a weird brand seems like such a narrow market. Imitation irish pipes. It feels like the brand grandma bought for you present. The salesman said it's the one you liked.

I had an Erin pipe once. If you get them cheap, they aren't too bad. But their quality isn't up to Peterson. I had a Limerick, and it's army mount fit was really too tight and the walls of the pipe a bit thin. But for $60, it was a serviceable pipe and looked decent. I ended up gifting it to a friend.

They're clearly Peterson imitations, but I do not believe they are part of Peterson's company.

Thats exactly what I suspected. Thanks for the info.

As a Pete Geek I might be partial, but the Erin Go Bragh pipes are substandard wanna be Petersons. They are only sold by P&C, of which I will withhold comment. Just buy a Peterson. Just my .02

 

[swilford]

Peterson has absolutely nothing to do with the brand whatsoever.

wait are you saying that a pipe brand wouldn't make extra ugly copies of their own pipes? Weird.
