Rattray's: Emblem Brown (159) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

A traditional bent Billiard, Rattray's "159" design most closely resembles the Scottish marque's "106" bent Billiard rendition, with a similar degree of bend and upright bowl but with the "159" being a touch stouter. As such, it's among Rattray's more Pot-like bent Billiards compared to the tall, tapered bowls of the "2" and "151" shapes, offering a substantial fit in hand and accommodating a 9mm filter in the shank.

The defining feature of Rattray's Emblem pipes is their scalloped, metal accent, offering vibrant flash and a sleek, angular aesthetic in profile. Designed over 25 years ago, these special accoutrements were crafted to resemble cigar bands, replete with Rattray's triskel logo along the top. After being discontinued for a number of years, Emblem pipes returned in 2021 all in smooth finishes, with this particular example wearing a deep, mahogany stain for alluring grain definition.
