The Charles Rattray Monarch Terracotta 177 Yellow is a prime example of the bent Billiard form, the most reliable shape, enhanced with Rattray’s signature Monarch style. It’s a pipe that would have been as comfortable in your grandfather’s hands as it will be in yours, with a cheerful twist in the stem.

The bowl is finished in a warm, smooth terracotta, radiating a soft glow that accentuates the grain without overpowering it. There’s a quiet elegance here, a reverence for the briar and its natural beauty. The bent shank and graceful curve of the stem provide a soothing grip and a balanced feel, making it an ideal choice for an evening by the fire or a leisurely stroll along the promenade.

The yellow acrylic stem, polished and vibrant, adds a touch of character, as if the pipe itself is basking in the sunshine. It’s paired with a refined nickel mount, emphasising elegance rather than showmanship, creating a seamless transition between the stem and shank.

This model accommodates a 9mm filter, catering to smokers who prefer a cooler, drier smoke. As always, you have the option to skip the filter, but it’s available for those who appreciate the added refinement.

Part of the Monarch range, crafted in Germany but inspired by Charles Rattray’s original Scottish workshop established in 1903, this pipe seamlessly combines heritage and functionality. The 177 is a reliable daily smoker and a visually appealing one at that.
