Rattray's: The Fair Maid Sandblasted (170) Tobacco Pipe

Rattray's "170" shape designation denotes this distinct bent Apple, featuring a classically inclined bowl with plenty of plump substance poised at the fore of an elongated transition to an upturned round shank. Out back, a long, willowy acrylic stem provides plenty of sleek contrast in profile, as well as a comfortable smoking posture.

The Fair Maid series from Rattray's poses a sleek and streamlined aesthetic, befitting its name. Composed of svelte renditions of shape-chart standards, the line unifies pipes with slender proportions and gentle lines to offer a selection of lightweight pipes of fair, elegant design. Offered in smooth or sandblasted finishes, the series is here represented by the sandblasted variation: defined by a rich, ruby stain and jet-black vulcanite stem. Unlike many of Rattray's pipes, which are drilled to accommodate a 9mm filter, pieces within The Fair Maid series offer standard drilling to allow for the line's more petite shaping.
