The Charles Rattray’s Monarch Terracotta 15 Yellow is a cheerful interpretation of the classic bent Calabash pipe. This unmistakable shape, long associated with thoughtful contemplation, even predates Sherlock Holmes by decades. It’s a pipe that invites a slower pace, a deeper draw, and perhaps a longer story.

This version from Rattray’s Monarch series skillfully combines tradition with a splash of colour. The generously curved bowl sits comfortably in the hand and offers a spacious chamber suitable for long-burning flakes or a gentle ribbon. The warmly polished terracotta finish allows the briar’s natural grain to breathe through hues of russet and clay.

What truly sets this model apart is the stem—a lively yellow acrylic piece that adds a touch of vibrancy without being overpowering. It’s light, bright, and won’t fade with age, making it a reliable companion for many years. The crisp and clean nickel mount serves a decorative purpose, tying the entire design together.

Equipped with a 9mm filter, it offers a cooler and more refined smoke for those who prefer filtration. However, it performs exceptionally well without a filter as well, catering to traditionalists.

Rattray’s has a rich history dating back to 1903, and the Monarch line, crafted in Germany, continues that legacy with meticulously crafted, classically inspired shapes finished to the highest standards. The 15 Yellow is perfect for anyone seeking a bent pipe with a touch of levity—a pipe with character, but without unnecessary fuss.
