Rattray’s Angels’ Share 105 Smooth Rhodesian Estate Briar Pipe, Unsmoked, 9mm

Description

The House of Rattray was originally a tobacconist, opening in Perth, Scotland, in 1903, under the oversight of Charles Rattray. House of Rattray soon became a blending house (whose blends are still sold to this day under the Rattray’s name) and a purveyor of Rattray-brand pipes, made for the tobacconist by established English pipe makers. Over the years, the name changed hands, with contemporary Rattray’s pipes and tobaccos being produced under the umbrella of German’s Kopp company (formerly Kolhase & Kopp). Today, Rattray’s pipes are manufactured by various major European makers, such as Chacom and Butz-Choquin in France and Brebbia and L’anatra in Italy.

Recalling The House of Rattray’s roots in Scotland, and with it Scotland’s famous whisky distilleries, Rattray’s Angels’ Share line is named for the small amount of alcohol that evaporates while it is being aged in casks. The design of these pipes is a simple one: traditional shapes, light brown finishes, and an acrylic stem with a distinctly amber-like hue. In other words, the pipes have a real old-world feel, evocative of early-20th century briars. This one is a relatively compact Rhodesian.

This pipe is completely unsmoked and comes with its original box and sleeve. There are a couple of worn out fills but nothing significant.
