It's a Peterson Sherlock Holmes "Hopkins" model, and very nice.

wow, superfast !!

Ok, I will try to find one in Europe now, it looks like this model is ... how to say it in English ... pre-broke ? pre-burn, caked ? caus' each time I try a new pipe I'm sick ...

thanks again for your precious help !

That is a nice shape. It's too bad Peterson didn't release it in the Kinsale line as well.

Peterson's do treat the insides of the pipes, you can try sanding it out if it bothers you, just be careful not to scuff the outside of the bowl.
