Rattray's: Mary Sandblasted (161) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Rattray's "161," "162," and "163" shapes are all exclusive to the Scottish marque's Mary series, defined by trim, lightweight shapes fitted to sleek, slightly elongated stems for a slender, streamlined nature that's perfect for quick, on-the-go smoking sessions. The "161" is a bent Rhodesian — essentially a scaled down version of Rattray's "105" rendition — with a bulb-like bowl that positions the shape's characteristic beadlines just above the top of the transition.

Many of Rattray's shapes accommodate 9mm filters, often resulting in designs of quite a muscular aesthetic, especially throughout the shank. The Scottish marque's Mary line, however, offers a much more slender design while still accepting a 9mm filter. For these pipes, the shank is shaped to perfectly fit a filter without adding extra heft thanks to a reverse-tenon construction, allowing for slender shaping while maintaining durability. Offered across three distinct shapes in three finishes, Rattray's Mary pipes are perfect for travel and short smoking sessions, with this particular piece dressed in a sandblasted finish and deep, dark stain.

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.
