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 Princess Pipes The Princess is a brand new and exciting addition to Rattray's portfolio for 2016. It is well known that Briar smokes smoother and cooler the longer the Briar has been seasoned or aged as the Briar hardens and loses weight while any sap left in the Briar disappears. The costs of storing and ageing Briar for more than a couple of years is unviable especially considering the world shortage of quality Briar so aged Briar blocks are as rare as rocking horse poo. However Rattray's have come across a limited quantity of small Briar blocks that have been aged for at least 30 years!!! They have decided to produce these characterful lightweight pipes which we simply love.
