Rattray's: Goblin Smooth Grey (100) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Exclusive to the Goblin and Fachen lines, Rattray's "100" is a compact rendition of the classic straight Billiard. While of short, Nosewarmer dimensions, the archetypal form is well maintained in the relative proportions between the bowl, shank, and stem, and the bowl remains around a Group 2 or 3 size. It's the perfect pipe for those drawn to traditional pipe shapes but desire one more diminutive in stature for comfortable, hands-free smoking when on-the-go.

In European folklore, goblins are ghoulish, often grotesque and impish creatures bent on mischief. Rattray's line of the same name forgoes such fiendish traits, sharing only the mythical beasts' small stature. The series presents a variety of short, compact pipes of Nosewarmer dimensions in an array of handsome finishes, similar in size to the Scottish marque's Outlaw and Misfit lines. They're perfect for on-the-go smoking sessions when pocketability and a comfortable, lightweight size are paramount, with this particular example found in a smooth, grey finish for an understated, smoky aesthetic.
