The House of Rattray was opened in Perth, Scotland, in 1903, by Charles Rattray. House of Rattray soon became a blending house (whose blends are still sold to this day under the Rattray’s name) and a purveyor of Rattray-brand pipes, made for the tobacconist by established English pipe makers. Over the years, the name changed hands, with contemporary Rattray’s pipes and tobaccos being produced under the umbrella of German’s Kopp company (formerly Kolhase & Kopp). Today, Rattray’s pipes are manufactured by various major European makers, such as Chacom and Butz-Choquin in France and Brebbia and L’anatra in Italy.
The Black Sheep is Rattray’s line of dress pipes—i.e., pipes with a reserved, black stain and a touch of engine-turned silver, making them the perfect pipes for an evening out in good company. This particular Black Sheep is a more compact, bent apple shape, making it even more well suited for smoking when out and about.
This Black Sheep is completely unsmoked. It also comes with its original box and sleeve, as well as all included paperwork and accessories. This pipe is chambered for 9mm filters as standard.
