Charles Rattray's Briar Pipes Charles Rattray's master blenders have an impeccable worldwide reputation for their unique tobacco blends and unrivalled character. You can be forgiven for not knowing that Rattray's also produce pipes as they were only released onto the general market in 2012. Their pipes were formerly reserved for exclusive sale in their Perth shop but they have answered many prayers by releasing these stunning pipes to retailers worldwide.
Charles Rattrays Antique Rustic Briar Pipe The Antique range is a stunning new range from Rattrays offering classic shapes from times gone by. They are a long stemmed reading style pipe with larger than average Billiard shape bowls. The walls are of a good thickness and combined with the longer stem will provide an exceptionally cool and sweet smoke. They aren't dainty and have a good robust feel compared to most churchwarden pipes on the market yet remain fairly light weight due to the quality of seasoned Briar used by Rattrays. The Rustic has a beautiful light coloured bowl carved along the grain of the pipe and has been finished with a beautiful horn effect mouthpiece.
9mm Absorbent Filter The Charles Rattray's Antique pipes are designed for use with the any 9mm absorbent stem filters. The larger diameter allows more smoke to pass through the filter, with less restriction, which makes for a better draw compared to the 6mm filters. The highly absorbent filters have a very high surface area resulting in excellent absorption of the tar as the smoke passes through without affecting draw or flavour.
The pipes have a standard 9mm bore so can be used with any brand of 9mm filter if preferred. Alternatively the filter can be removed all together for smokers who prefer a totally un-restricted full on smoke.
