Rattray's Monarch sandblasted
The sandblasted version of Rattray's Monarch is a pipe series that bridges the gap between classic understatement and modern robustness. While Rattray's is often known for its very traditional, Scottish-inspired designs, the Monarch series brings an interesting visual depth.
What makes the Monarch series instantly recognizable (oder recognisable) is the wide silver ring on the shank. This not only provides stability but also adds a shiny accent to the dark, rustic wood. It gives the pipe a certain "royal" heft that lives up to the name Monarch.
The sandblasted Rattray's Monarch is an honest pipe with a strong character. It is neither too playful nor too plain – simply a true classic for everyday use.
