Rattray’s Newcastle Terracotta 18 9mm Briar Pipe

Rattray’s Newcastle Terracotta 18 Pipe combines a smooth reddish-brown briar bowl with the elegant Straight Brandy shape, a broad polished metal accent and a glossy black acrylic mouthpiece. Inspired by the historic architecture and industrial character of Newcastle upon Tyne, the Newcastle series blends traditional pipe shapes with strong contemporary detailing.

The carefully polished terracotta-coloured finish gives the briar a warm and expressive appearance. Its reddish and orange-brown tones enhance the natural grain of the wood without covering its individual structure. Since every briar block develops its own pattern, each pipe has a slightly different appearance and remains visually unique.

The classic Straight Brandy shape is defined by a bowl that is broader near the base and gently narrows towards the rim. This flowing profile gives the pipe an elegant silhouette while preserving the clean proportions of a straight pipe. Its traditional design makes it suitable both for everyday use and for collectors who appreciate established European pipe shapes.

A broad polished metal accent separates the smooth briar shank from the glossy black acrylic mouthpiece. The bright metallic surface creates a striking contrast with the warm terracotta finish and gives the Newcastle series its characteristic industrial-inspired appearance.

The black acrylic mouthpiece is durable, resistant to oxidation and easy to maintain. Unlike traditional vulcanite, acrylic retains its deep black colour and polished appearance without requiring regular restoration. Its straight profile continues the clean lines of the shank and complements the balanced Brandy form.

This model is designed for standard 9mm filters and can be used with widely available systems such as VAUEN Dr. Perl, White Elephant and other compatible 9mm pipe filters. This gives smokers the freedom to select the filter type that best suits their personal preferences.

The Newcastle series combines traditional pipe-making principles with modern materials and practical 9mm filter compatibility. Model 18 offers a particularly harmonious balance between the refined Straight Brandy shape and the strong reddish-brown terracotta finish.

Each pipe is supplied new and unsmoked.
