Brave Heart 'G' Sandblasted Green (153) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

The Brave Heart line from Rattray's features six shapes exclusive to the series: the "149," "150," "151," "152," "153," and "154" designs. All differ in exact form and dimensions, but all are united by the Brave Heart's two finishes and flashy, nickel accent. Offered here is the "153" Apple. Unlike other renditions which feature more squat, spherical bowls, this Rattray's rendition is of the taller variety, exhibiting an Egg-like roundness and a much deeper chamber. The shank continues the bowl's muscular shaping, stepping down slightly to the tapered stem, which is drilled to accommodate a 9mm filter.

Depicted in Mel Gibson's Oscar-winning epic, Braveheart, William Wallace was a 13th-century Scottish knight and revolutionary during Scotland's fight for independence from England. Wallace was captured and executed before the end of the war, but his leadership was essential to Scotland's later independence — specifically Wallace's defeat of the English troops at the Battle of Stirling Bridge despite being overwhelmingly outnumbered. His legacy and martyrdom have since made him Scotland's national hero, and Rattray's Brave Heart line honors Wallace's historic significance and the work of all those who have fought against oppression. This series from the Scottish marque offers pipes adorned in a broad, nickel accent, contrasting handsomely against this example's green sandblast. This particular "G" example is fashioned from ash wood and features a graphite chamber insert that is tasteless, odorless, and easy to clean.

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.
