Rattray’s Newcastle Sandblasted 178 9mm Briar Pipe

The Rattray’s Newcastle Sandblasted 178 Pipe combines a deeply sandblasted briar bowl with the timeless Half-Bent Rhodesian shape, a broad polished metal accent and a glossy black acrylic mouthpiece. Inspired by the industrial heritage of Newcastle upon Tyne, the series blends traditional pipe making with refined modern styling.

The briar bowl features a pronounced sandblasted surface that enhances the natural grain while creating a rugged texture with excellent visual depth. Every pipe develops its own unique appearance through the sandblasting process.

The elegant Half-Bent Rhodesian shape is recognised by its rounded bowl with the characteristic double bead and its gently curved profile. The balanced proportions provide a comfortable smoking position while preserving the classic character that has made the Rhodesian one of the most respected pipe shapes.

A broad polished metal accent separates the textured briar shank from the glossy black acrylic mouthpiece. The combination of dark sandblasted briar, bright metal and polished acrylic creates the distinctive appearance of the Newcastle series.

The durable acrylic mouthpiece is easy to maintain and designed for standard 9mm filters.

The Newcastle series combines traditional craftsmanship with understated elegance and robust materials. Model 178 is an excellent choice for pipe smokers who appreciate the classic Half-Bent Rhodesian shape enhanced by a deeply textured finish and substantial metallic detailing.

Each pipe is supplied new and unsmoked.
