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 The Chief Large Briar Pipe Natural 31 They don't call it the Chief for nothing! You get plenty of Briar for your buck with this unique XL Bent Billiard of epic proportions. This is one of those special occasion pipes when you have an evening to yourself and a special tobacco blend that you want to loose yourself in. They aren't going to smoke cooler and sweeter than a pipe of this size, it will tame even the fiercest burning Virginias. As always with Rattays pipes the Briar is of exceptional quality and the pipe is finished with a 925 sterling silver military mount.
9mm Absorbent Filter The Charles Rattray's The Chief 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.
