Rattrays - Terry Red 63 (9mm)

Cracking bent with a slightly larger than average bowl and a great shape to the bend. Finished with a deep red stain and polished to a shine. The Terry Range from Rattrays offers classic, British shapes in a simple, polished finish. The acrylic stems make use of the 9mm filter, this results in a cleaner and a drier smoke. While these might be entry level of the Rattrays collection, they still have a great look and feel to them. 

Charles Rattray is still a well-known name in the pipe smoking world, his tobaccos are highly rated by connoisseur smokers. Located in Perth the Rattrays tobacconist not only sold tobaccos, but like most tobacconists blended on site too. His skills with tobacco eventually saw the shop become a blending house in its own right. While Charles never produced his own pipes, he worked closely with English pipe makers for his own shop pipes. In more recent years the Perth factory has now closed and the brand was saved by German blending master Kohlhouse & Kopp.

O Kopp has been the driving force behind the Rattrays pipes, using a number of traditional makers in St Claude (Chacom & Butz Choquin) and also by factories in Italy. The use of various makers allows the collection to have a very wide range of shapes, made using mass production methods dating back over 100 years. Not afraid to go against the flow, the collection contains shapes which have become desirable and very rarely produced.
