The entire Rattrays collection is made up from classic shapes, which are still popular today and that include the more unique ones too. O Kopp did not miss a trick with the Glory Days range, the Poker/Cherrywood is one of the most requested shapes for us. The Glory Days range takes the humble Cherrywood and gives it a level of class, ideal for when you want something a little more eye catching. Cut from stunning cross cut briar, for a dynamic and vivid grain. Only briar who’s grain is striking enough is chosen for the natural finish. The natural beauty of the briar is highlighted with a light stain, really giving this a stunning appearance. A light polish is applied, giving a velvety smooth feel and look. To give these pipes a unmistakable appearance a polished aluminium base plate is laser etched with a Celtic cross design. The acrylic stem houses a 9mm filter inside the faux army mount and nickel band.
Packed in a black display box.
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.
