Rattray's: Coloss Smooth Grey (147) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

The "147" shape from Rattray's is an extra-large straight Billiard design, and it's found exclusively in the Coloss series, accompanied by the "148" bent Billiard rendition. Though boasting an increased overall size, the "147" remains well-balanced in regard to relative proportions, and the pipe chart archetype is maintained in profile — the tall bowl rising up from an angled transition and rounded heel. It's a design created for maximum chamber depth, and such bold proportions make for a substantial, comfortable posture in hand.

Appropriately named, Rattray's Coloss series presents pipes of colossal size, divided between two shapes: a bent and a straight Billiard. The line prioritizes bold proportions and chamber depth, meant for long, relaxing smoking sessions. This particular example wears a smooth, smoky grey finish, contrasted by a handsome chrome accent along the shank end for tasteful flash and an alluring dress pipe-like motif.
