Description
Rattray’s “4” design is a low-slung bent Brandy, featuring a firm base and muscular proportions throughout. Shape-wise, it’s reminiscent of the classic Diplomat, but opts for a round shank rather than one with an oval cross section. The “4” does well to retain the classic form of the Brandy shape, displaying a beautiful taper from the bowl’s broad base up toward the gently beveled rim. The plump proportions are pleasing in hand while the saddle stem further accentuates the bowl’s heartiness and terminates in a gentle downturn to allow for a comfortable, hands-free smoking posture.
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 Sandblasted version.
