Sometimes Zarnicky smoking pipe and it's just OK. Sometimes smoking same pipe and same tobacco and it' GREAT! Why dis happening? Zarnicky have 14 pipes so far. I wanting more. Help! I having eye on new Rattray pipe. (Zarnicky have glass eye. Just kidding) Is Rattray's pipe good smoker? Which one you liking better?   |

Stewart going crazy too, but nothing to do with pipes. Just natural state.
I've gotten into sandblasts the last few years, so I like the first; I also like the color of its stem. Unfortunately I've never owned a Rattray, so I can't speak for the quality one way or the other.
If you are really undecided between these two, I'm going to give you the advice you surely know you'll get here:
Buy both.

I like the sandblast too. I don't know who makes them, but that one's a looker.

I have one Rattray (Dark Ale 105). I consider it a good smoker even though it's one of their lower-end offerings. I like the sandblast, too.

I like the sandblast too. I don't know who makes them, but that one's a looker. Chacom handles a lot of the Rattray pipes. They also handle all of the Brigham pipes. I take this from someone working for them. |

The yellow stem would look great on it.

Some of their pipes though are quite beautiful. Indeed. The Klondike finish is very nice. I tried a few of them some years back. On 2 of them, the filter got literally stuck. I had to use vice grips to remove them. That ended my relationship with the brand. |

Another one for the sandblasted pipe. Looks lovely. If it doesn't smoke to your liking, I'll give you my address for disposal.

I like the sandblasted one too. The yellow stem would look great on it. The pipe is Rattray's: Beltane's Fire Black Sandblasted (9mm) It coming with all 3 stems: black, yellow and reddish one. I just bought it from Smoking Pipes. I should having it in couple weeks. I'll letting you know how it smokes. Zarnicky happy. My English getting gooder. |

Congrats! I believe the Beltane’s is Eddy Gray’s favorite pipe, over at the Pipe Nook.

Zarnicky just smoked the pipe for first time. Meerschaum 9mm filter. I smoking Sutliff Spiced Rum. Pipe seems to be a good smoker but needs to be broken in. Pipe looking very nice and feeling good in hand. Today Zarnicky also smoked Country Squire - Hunting Creek in Savinelli Aligator Brown (673 KS). - This wonderful combination! Zarnicky love feel of stem. I thinking Hunting Creek is Zarnicky's favourite tobacco so far. Zarnicky preferring 9mm charcoal filter.
Happy puffing to you all.
