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 Watchtower Briar Pipe The Watchtower range is a stunning range from Rattrays. This sophisticated shape was developed by the most famous German pipe maker Rainer Barbi. Run in small numbers this was his contribution to Chieftain's German Masters collection, which has been out of print for many years. Thankfully it is finally allowed to celebrate its resurrection. The hexagonal shank is reminiscent of medieval fortifications while the conical mouthpiece evokes associations with a watchtower.

9mm Absorbent Filter The Charles Rattray's Watchtower 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.
