I suspect this is/was one of the elusive Peterson "Giants" that Mark Irwin mentions in PPN. I found it interesting that it has a cross in the stamping and I wonder of that was done regularly (?) :

As in “Giant” do you mean like this one?

Price is ridiculous

SUPERB LARGE UNSMOKED PETERSONS BRIAR PIPE | eBay

Stamped on the briar pipe: Petersons Systems, Made in Ireland. (the M in "Made" seems to be missing and well as the "Ir" in Ireland) Poorly stamped. See photo. I am not a Petersons connoisseur and I'm not sure of the age, but would estimate 1940's.

I believe that is a much older 'Giant" or 'magnum' House pipe. I was referring the last iteration of Giant or magnum pipes made from 1960 to 1983 and called "Giant" in the catalogs as referenced by Mark Irwin in PPN.
I would love one of those super Giants but way out of my price range and probably too long a smoke (days?)

Then again, on price ... it was 'unmoked' and a collectors item so ... can't get briar blocks that large anymore.

Would love a pipe like that. But, at that price? No way.

My Barontini Gran Duc 203 with 360 degree straight grain is the same size. 60mm bowl; 20mmx55mm chamber. Its a perfect pipe and much less expensive. In fact I suspect its a copy of the giant ...made about the same time by Ilio Barontini.

These look like a better Christmas Pipe option from Peterson than the other ones.
And for those that don't like the P-lip - these are for you!

Wish they had a plip, and that I had the money for them. Lol

 

[FLDRD]

I'm only P-lips these days, but I see others who wish they could get a Pete without, so this should / could make a few of them happy.

I'm slowly becoming a Plip only guy. To the point where I don't want to buy a Peterson without a Plip.

I've been there for about 7-8 years now. (and vulcanite)

I got lucky a couple months back and snagged this.

Just got the new Iora plateau. Peterson outdid themselves with these.

Wow! That looks awesome. Still waiting on mine.

 

[Jon C.P.G.]

Managed to get this from a friend who wanted it to stay in the Pete Geek family at a very very reasonable price IE below what it cost new. Now I'll have all three PPN pipes.

My Rua is out for delivery. I don’t think it’ll be as nice as yours, it was the very last one available so I didn’t get to choose. I’ll post pics asap

Honestly, they all looked great this time around. I got a Rua the last time these dropped (last spring I think?) and it has great blast, too. It’s also larger than this Iora. My Rua is bigger than my house pipe and this Iora is about the size of a pub pipe (talking bowl size).

Very nice.

Arrived today. It’s as if Pele fashioned a pipe from honeycomb and galvanized it in a vat of lava

Since the regular Newgranges on SP were going for $192, I figured the SH shaped ones wouldn't go for more than $20 more. $248 seems over-priced.

But it’s got a CP stamp…
