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 Lowland Green Briar Pipe Rattrays have gone Green! For some reason there aren't many Pipe makers that are bold enough to stain Briar in Green but they are missing a trick as our customers seem to love them. Rattrays have spent a long time developing this finish as the problem with many stained pipes is they turn brown and loose their colour over time. Rattrays say that they have produced a revolutionary finish that will not turn brown in time. So if your'e a fan of green pipes then the Lowland is a must have for your collection. The Rattrays shape 46 is a half bent Apple with a slightly shallower bowl height and larger across the beam than is the normal for most manufacturers. The Apple shape is one of the most popular bowl shapes due to how comfortably it fits in the hand, the Rattrays is slightly wider than normal which is even more comfortable still. A nice feature is the base of the bowl has been flattened slightly meaning the pipe will stand unaided and prevents mess and expensive spillages while the pipe rests. The pipe has nice thick walls and a decent sized bore for a good fill that will smoke cool and sweet.
9mm Absorbent Filter The Charles Rattray's Lowland 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.
