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 Reserve Briar Pipe 39 If you are are fascinated by the natural beauty of Briar then they don't come much more appealing than The Rattrays Reserve pipe. The pipe is finished in a clear matte oil, which soaks into the briar but shows off every detail of the quality Briar that Rattrays are becoming increasingly renowned for. As the name suggests the Reserve pipes are made from only the finest Briar, with no fills and very few flaws making these pipes absolutely stunning. The pipe is complimented beautifully with a deep red, grained Cumberland mouthpiece. The Reserve 39 is a classic straight apple pipe with a curved mouthpiece for those who like a small overhang. The apple shape is by far the most comfortable shape to hold. It has a more stubby bowl than average which helps keep the weight of the pipe minimal and packing easier.
9mm Absorbent Filter The Charles Rattray's Reserve 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.
