Rattray's: Outlaw Sandblasted (140) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

The Outlaw series consists of two shapes: the "140" Rhodesian and the "141" Devil Anse. Presented here is the "140," a compact Rhodesian that forgoes the shape's characteristic beadlines in favor of a firm ridgeline underneath the tapered rim. Despite its short length, the bowl still houses a chamber of respectable dimensions, making for a petite pipe that doesn't sacrifice tobacco capacity. This particular example is dressed in a well-textured sandblast, finished in a jet-black stain that tastefully contrasts against the trim metal band accenting the shank end to create a classy, dress pipe aesthetic.

Similar to the Scottish marque's Misfit line, the Outlaw series from Rattray's presents lightweight, Nosewarmer designs that are easily slipped into a pocket when traveling. Where the two lines differ are in their stems: The Misfit displays a single bore mouthpiece, hearkening to mouthpiece designs of the late 1800s and early 1900s while the Outlaw features a more traditional, fishtail bit.
