Rattray's pipes are made from the highest quality briars and are available in many beautiful classic shapes. They are crafted with all the care and know-how of the world's oldest pipe companies.
A more traditional companion to their Monarch line, itself a tip of the hat to the Royal houses of Scotland, Rattray's Majesty series comprises three distinct finishes — smooth black, a red hued 'light' stain, and a brown sandblast — across a variety of shapes. Each pipe in the series is fitted with a jet-black acrylic 9mm stem and paired to a broad copper mount that does indeed look majestic crowning the shank.

Charles Rattray is still a well-known name in the pipe smoking world, his tobaccos are highly rated by connoisseur smokers. Located in Perth the Rattrays tobacconist not only sold tobaccos, but like most tobacconists blended on site too. His skills with tobacco eventually saw the shop become a blending house in its own right. While Charles never produced his own pipes, he worked closely with English pipe makers for his own shop pipes. In more recent years the Perth factory has now closed and the brand was saved by German blending master Kohlhouse & Kopp.
O Kopp has been the driving force behind the Rattrays pipes, using a number of traditional makers in St Claude (Chacom & Butz Choquin) and also by factories in Italy. The use of various makers allows the collection to have a very wide range of shapes, made using mass production methods dating back over 100 years. Not afraid to go against the flow, the collection contains shapes which have become desirable and very rarely produced.
