Peterson

The well-known Irish company «Kapp and Peterson», has been based in 1875 in Dublin, as a result of association of brothers Fridriha and Henry Kapp, owning shop for smokers on Grafton strit since 1865, with inventor Charles Peterson. The beginning to this merge has put the invention of considerably new tube Peterson which and carries to this day his name. Shortly, the company became the most luxurious both respectable manufacturer and the supplier of tubes and smoking accessories.

In 1890 Charles Peterson has presented a tube of the revolutionary system «Peterson System». If to imagine this tube in a cut, to turn out, that instead of direct drilling under a cup bottom in a tube the special chamber which collects a moisture is made. As a result a condensate from hot tobacco and a saliva do not squelch in a tube, doing smoking hot and bitter, and is going to in this chamber - you smoke dry and tasty tobacco to the end.

In 1898 Charles Peterson has invented a new mouthpiece - the flue hole is directed not directly, and upward. As a result the smoke from a tube goes not to a language tip (smokers know, that from strong and sharp tabakov pricks a tip of language and flavouring sensations are lost; for this reason for people, «earning to itself for a life a nose» - to perfumers, masters of a blend to smoke it is impossible) and in the sky, and flavouring sensations thus are not broken. Such distribution of a smoke is pleasant to some, some - is not present.

Both these inventions have been patented.

But the company has got the world popularity thanks to Arthur Conan Doyle. More correctly, thanking its hero, Sherloku Holmes, in whose lips the writer has enclosed tube Peterson.

It is not known, whether there was in the last century concept PR, but Konan Doyle has made simply impossible - it so perfectly well "otpiaril" production of the Irish company, that after more centuries it still works. Also will work centuries, because Konan Doyle's books - classics, and tubes Peterson - among the best in the world.

In reply to Konan Doyle's courtesy company Kapp and Peterson has let out the limited series of tubes Sherlock Holmes from a family of tubes for every day weeks. Not so long ago there was also a continuation - The Return Of Sherlock Holmes. Both series are made and now, and in two sizes - XXL and Junior. "Sherlok Holmes" tubes are on sale separately and stand depending on execution - rustirovannaja, polished and under an ebony - 120-220 dale. The USA. In repertoire of the company as well as inexpensive - but qualitative tubes Donnegal and Killarney (in retail $55-65), and rare, exclusive models. For example, Golf, the tube made in shape bits for a golf, on sale in a box together with golfovym a ball, costs $1200.

Also the big influence on popularity of the company was rendered by one more well-known smoker. In 1980, employees of the company have seen Mark Twain's smoking a tube old photo, very similar to Peterson. Has soon proved to be true, that the tube has been made by Peterson in 1886. This model was not made since 1900 and, restored on photos, the tube Mark Twain De lux, has been presented in 1985.

Recently the firm has decided to expand the assortment with cigars. It is a pity, that Arthur Conan Doyle has not revived up to now: possibly, it would bring the feasible contribution to propagation of cigars from Peterson. To create cigars, worthy a name and reputation of production of firm Peterson of Dublin, a problem not from lungs. Charles Peterson's too inclined to perfektsionizmu the successors, long searched for the necessary bouquet tabakov, suitable factory. In 1990 on sale there were first cigars Peterson. Them make at factory Tabacolera de la Rei in a city of Santiago Dominikana, in Dominican republic.

Now at factory 48 persons who make about 100 000 tubes in a year work. From them 20 000 last year it has been sold in the USA. In Rossi tubes Peterson - also one of the most popular.

Quality of all production «Kapp and Peterson» is positioned as invariably high, but recently many fans notice, that cheap rustirovannye tubes Peterson are not maintained frequently by critics - both on quality of a material, and on carefulness of job. Possibly, it is connected with last tendencies in the market: many fans are not so ready to pay an all-round price for high quality.

In any case, quality of tubes Peterson of the higher and average price category is not subject to doubt. The best jobs of the firm which are let out by limited parties, pass careful check then tubes of silver, gold and platinum series receive a corresponding brand.
