Rattrays - Old Perth (Contrast)

The Old Perth series beings back the elegance and style associated with pipe smoking. One of the early briar pipe shapes, taken straight from the traditional English clay pipes. These slender pipes feature a thin wall and pencil shank, the curve of the stem is matched by the slant to the bowl. Made for Kop in St Claude, the birthplace of briar pipes and home to the oldest pipe making equipment, ideal for recreating this iconic shape.

Cut from stunning cross cut briar, for a dynamic and vivid grain. The addition of contrasting black and toffee brown stain really bring the grain to life all around the bowl. A light polish is applied, giving a velvety smooth feel and look. A narrow silver band sits flush with the acrylic, fishtailed mouthpiece. No cutty is complete without its foot and this is finished off with a silver shoe.

Packaged in a its own soft lined, leather clad case, for protecting the slender pipe. Not something you would want to carry round and smoke in the workshop or when you are out fishing. More suited for those moments when you feel like smoking something a little more sophisticated.
