Rattray's P&TAD

[Chasing Embers]

Just took advantage of SPC's half price Rattray's pipe sale. I got this Marlin bent dublin that bears a strong resemblance to a zulu, a tin of Bagpiper's Dream from suggestions of a few forum members, and a tin of Marlin Flake. My first foray into Rattray's territory, but all looks very promising.

I had my eye on that very pipe! Thank you for saving me from yet another order
Hope she smokes well for you. I love Marlin Flake.

Duane, enjoy your new pipe, very similar too a Zulu. I highly recommended Bagpipers Dream, when you open the tin and try some let me know what you think. Enjoy the day!!
KEEP ON PUFFING!!!

Bought it based on yours and Anthony's suggestion. All three of us love Black Frigate, so anyone with refined taste like that should love Bagpipers's Dream! :wink:

Will do my friend.

9mm?

Nice Zulu. Bagpiper's is a tasty smoke and an awesome aromatic.

Captain Black Mustache: if you like Marlin Flake, then consider trying Old Gowrie in your next order. You might also complete the Rattray Triumvirate with Hal O' The Wynd

I have yet to try Bagpiper's Dream as I don't smoke many blends with Black Cavendish.

Nice pipe capt. Always thought Rattray pipes were a little pricey but at half price sure why not. Marlin flake is a nice smoke, quiet sweet,have yet to try bagpipers dream. Big plus one on HOTW I love it. Also Stearling Flake is a must try....nudge. ....nudge.... :puffpipe:

Also Stearling Flake is a must try....nudge. ....nudge....

9mm?

Surprisingly nonfiltered.

Hal O the Wynd is a very tasty blend. Ive yet to try Old Gowrie and Marlin Flake.

Very nice Zulu, a little pricey for my budget

I missed this thread yesterday. Good to hear you're trying Bagpiper's Dream. And I absolutely love the look of that pipe! I've been meaning to try a Rattray's pipe, so let me know how she smokes. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Bagpiper's Dream. ...I keep stopping what I'm typing to scroll up and look at that pipe again. I may have to purchase one similar. Beautiful shape. Enjoy the heck out of it

 

[Chasing Embers]

Still haven't decided if this is going to be a Marlin Flake pipe, or one for Bagpiper's Dream, but can't wait to try both!

 

[anthonyrosenthal74]

Either way, it's a beauty. Sleek. And classy. And I love that dark stain.

What no Black Mallory ,oh well next order . Awesome looking pipe it goes well with the your hat .

Well done across the board. Bagpiper's Dream has been in my rotation for over 10 years. It is one of the very few aromatics I smoke and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I'm anxious to hear your opinion re the pipe. I have a Highland straight apple but I don't use the 9mm filter. Since it has no adapter it is a very open draw and I notice a couple of dark spots from smoking the pipe without the filter. I believe Chacom makes Rattray pipes.

Pipe-wise, I have two Rattray's:

and

Excellent smokers! 9mm's - I'm a filter guy. And my son has a couple 9mm Rattray's pipes as well and is VERY happy with them!!

I almost grabbed one of those authors, but just couldn't take my eyes off of that Dublin/zulu.

 

[josephcross]

Hey Chasingembers, have you got your zulu in yet?

 

[Chasing Embers]

Yep!
