I like the look of this pipe by Rattrays. could be a purchase. 
Rattrays Pipe Of The Year.
- Thread starter Scarlet claw
- Start date
Yep i quite like the shape. and the mount/spigot. never really sure how good they smoke having never purchase one. but if i did this would be the one.
I am slightly put off by the Rattray brand of pipes, simply because of their Scottish and Celtic imagery... yet the pipes are made somewhere like Poland or France?
Of course their tobaccos are made in Germany so I guess it shouldn't matter
Those are some good looking pipes, especially the natural one in the middle. The spigot stem works well with that Rhodesian shape.
Aren't you basically a Peterson fanatic?

Indeed.. a pipe MADE in Ireland that doesn't even use Triskeles or traditional Irish imagery.
Maybe I should be more clear.. I like the Celtic imagery, but find it Ironic that nothing about Rattray is related to Scotland at all.
Very nice looking pipes, I have had two of Rattrays and have nothing bad to say about them, btw,Rattray's head office is in Germany but pipes are made in France
You are actually going to purchase a POTY for 2020? Think of the opportunity for catastrophe! You'll burn your eyes out with that thing!
They do look really nice. They might be one nice thing you could take from 2020.
Quite attractive. Are the spigots silver? Well, BROBS, the only thing connecting Rattray's to Scotland now is the historical origin of the brand. Never owned one. As an aside, do like Celtic imagery.
Thank you! I thought maybe Italy but apparently not.
The middle pipe is very nice looking.
Lost me at “spigot style”. I hate faux army mounts or spigots.
Is that kinda like a white guy with a tribal tattoo
Or a chinese symbol hahaIs that kinda like a white guy with a tribal tattoo
I think the photo of the pipes looks great...maybe too great? I'd want to see one in person first. I do like what appears to be a bit of exposed briar in the grooves of the black one.
