The 69 is a large bent billiard which is very well balanced for such a large bowl. New for 2015 the Hail to King series from Rattrays combines a deep ruby stain with an embossed nickel coated brass band. Cut from a higher grade of briar compared to the bulk of Rattrays pipes, resulting in beautiful looking pipes. Fitted with an acrylic 9mm filter stem, we can provide a free 9mm reducer upon request. Comes in a gift box with a pipe sock, display stand and information card. 

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.
