Rattray's: Marlin (10) Tobacco Pipe

One of Rattray's more sleek and streamlined shapes, the "10" is a traditional take on the iconic Foursquare design, featuring crisp panels and an architectural motif overall. It's also one of the Scottish marque's shapes that isn't engineered to accommodate a 9mm filter, allowing for a more slender profile through the shank. The paneled shaping allows this piece to sit upright and provides a sturdy fit in hand, making for a versatile desk pipe that's perfect for pipe smokers who appreciate timeless shapes and those not drilled for filters.

Honoring one of the Scottish marque's most popular tobaccos, Marlin Flake, Rattray's Marlin series consists of classic shapes fittingly dressed in a timeless finish. The designs are the same ones found in the Old Gowrie line, offering six shapes that are more slender and filterless, while the other six are slightly stouter and designed to accommodate 9mm filters. This particular design wears a deep, ruby-tinged stain that hearkens back to those used on vintage English pipes. Such a stain further accentuates the traditional appeal of this piece, ensuring it'll fit right in with any collection of classic pipes.
