Have you popped her cherry yet?

She's still a maiden for now, think I'll start the break-in tomorrow

I had one of the Rattray's mortars and mine cracked as well. When I sent it back for a refund the guy at the shop said they'd had a lot of problems with them cracking. Must've been a bad batch.

I've got a Rattray's meerschaum that was a team up between them and Eldritch Pipes. Eldritch made the beautiful stem. Looks a bit different now, of course. It's got a decent bit of colour on it.

I'm near sure someone posted here a while ago about Peterson cancelling or recalling their mortas for the same reason, maybe bog-oak isn't the best material

I've had 2 and they both cracked. The first was the Rattray's and the second was a Volkan. I smoked them real slowly and gently but it made no difference. I've had my eye on one of the Chacom Pipe Of The Year 2019 but my previous experience has made me wary. They are lovely looking pipes, though.

My only Rattray’s is this Brownie. It’s been a good smoker.

I have several mortas - no problem with them except for one which developed a couple of “burn” spots. Pipe mud fixed that problem.
