Rattray's Pipes- thoughts?

beerandbaccy · Sep 21, 2015

I am thinking about buying one or both of these two beauties - a Bent rustic Rhodesian and a fun looking poker. Does anyone have any thoughts on Rattray's pipes before I dive in?

I have three Rattray pipes and really like them. I have the billiard in the six friends series which is the poker you are considering. I would happily consider more of them but the prices have risen lately.

Thanks for the info! They are a bit 'spenny' I agree, but I love the look of them.

I think they're pricey for the quality. If you buy estate or if they're on sale (or you just plain love them no matter what the price ) then you'll do fine.

The Rhodesian is £49 but the poker is a bit more at £64 .... :?

Those prices are pretty good. Rattray's are a much better deal in Europe than North America. Go ahead and get both you won't be sorry!
I like the look of the Dune and Kelpy series and would not mind adding one of each to my collections.

I really like the look of all of their pipes. The "Craggy Root" series is a favorite.
They can be a bit pricey and I do wish that they used vulcanite, but I would not be surprised if I ended up owning a few.

I have a Highland apple. Nice pipe but very pricy.

I believe Butz-Choquin makes them.

I have a Rattray Kelpy bent brandy that I really like. It's a great looking pipe and it smokes real nice as well. That Rhodesian is a pretty little pipe. : puffy
