Rattrays - Distillery 106 - Natural Sandblast - 9mm Filter Pipe

We love single malts, especially the ones hailing from the isle of Islay. So the new ‘Distillery’ series is dedicated to the Scottish water of life. Lagavulin, Bruichladdich, Kilkoman... Every Whisky lover will remember moments of peaty pleasure just by reading those names. ...

Just like the beautiful distilleries in Scotland, the attached ring is made of massive copper. It is very likely that other Whisky fans will spot the smoker, and expert discussions about subtle salt and dominant kelp aroma will commence.

Packed in a black display box.

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.
