After buying a new Rattray's poker/cherry wood this week I thought I would kick this thread off with my three Rattray's pipes

I have only 1 but intend on buying another. Fine quality briar and cool dry smoker!
Kohlhaas and Kopp obviously bought the label. They say that the pipes are now produced in France and Italy, look pipedia: “Oliver Kopp has been the driving force behind the Rattrays pipes, using a number of traditional makers in Saint-Claude (Chacom & Butz-Choquin) and also by factories in Italy (Gigi, Brebbia, L'anatra) and Altinay for the Meerschaum pipes.”
You're not supposed to hammer paint can lids shut with your pipe Maierar. C'mon now.
But you should be able to smoke it more than 3 times. And you should get a response from the maker when you have an issue.
It looks a lot like a mortar pipe, one of the most difficult woods for pipe making, because of its structural incoherence.
Why didn’t you give It back to the seller?
The pipe appears to be made of morta rather than wood, I don't know if the pipe was dropped or not but every once in a while, morta sometimes splits.
Not the maker the seller of course is responsible for a replacement or compensation.
By the way I like the classic line of Rattray pipes, doesn’t matter where they are produced.
So sad ! I love my Rattray’s Bent Apple but I can relate to your bad experience. I have purchased a couple of other well known makes of pipes and they are straight rubbish! They now collect dust in my not so often used pipe bin. Customer service as a whole has digressed to nothing in most industries now.
they all seem to say made of briar on the website, but now I'm worried mine are going to crack
When I was looking to buy my 1st morta pipe, Rattray was a brand I looked at.
Lack of stock + filter made me decide on a Moretti instead
I'm glad I dodged that bullet
On researching, it looks like it was limited 'Bog Oak' (Morta) pipe(s) they released a while back. the normal ones are definitely briar.When I was looking to buy my 1st morta pipe, Rattray was a brand I looked at.
