Rattray's: Majesty Smooth Black (15) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

A hearty, Calabash-like take on the bent Dublin, Rattray's "15" design is marked by its deep bend, palm-filling bowl, and domed rim. It makes for a comfortable jaw-hanger that, while impressively compact in length thanks to the tightly curling transition, still offers a strong sense of substance in hand and plenty of chamber depth surrounded by generous insulating walls.

Presented in an array of finishes, Rattray's Majesty series offers pipes in a ruddy sandblast or smooth finishes with ebony or chestnut stains. They all focus on a traditional aesthetic with added elegance through a generous brass accent, evoking the style of an army mount but with a standard mortise-tenon arrangement. Ever elegant and eminently regal, this particular Majesty example is presented in the Black Smooth version.

Note: While all of our other pipes are photographed individually, these are not, and you may expect some reasonable cosmetic variation between the example we've photographed and the pipe you've received.
