The Charles Rattray’s Monarch Sandblast 178 Yellow is a delightful example of the bent Rhodesian pipe. It’s that classic double-beaded bowl with a low centre of gravity and a comfortable curve. This version is made from deeply sandblasted briar, showing the rough texture of the grain underneath a dusky finish. It’s then topped with a bold yellow acrylic stem that adds a pop of colour without being too flashy.

The pipe has a 9mm filter and is reinforced with a polished nickel mount. It’s a perfect balance between form and function. The Rhodesian shape, with its sturdy build and pleasant feel, has been a favourite among experienced smokers for its comfortable grip and even burn. And now it’s been given a new look with a finish that’s both tactile and timeless.

Charles Rattray has been making high-quality pipes since 1911. Their workshop in Perth, Scotland, has always been committed to craftsmanship. The 178 continues that tradition with a shape that was once popular in British officer’s clubs and drawing rooms. Now it’s just as comfortable in your hand on a quiet afternoon.

This pipe is for people who love tradition but aren’t afraid to add a little colour. It’s a quiet celebration of heritage in form, function, and a touch of daring flair.
