The "50" bent Dublin from Rattray's is a shape found only in the Scottish marque's Blower's Daughter series and is an extremely lightweight, diminutive, and graceful interpretation. The shank-and-stem combination is slightly elongated and sinuously bent to allow for a comfortable, hands-free smoking posture, and the bowl exhibits a subtle flare up toward the gently rounded rim, housing a narrow chamber within that's ideal for shag-cut tobacco, folded flake, or for shorter smoking sessions in general.
Named after the enigmatic song by Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice, Rattray's Blower's Daughter series consists of trim, lightweight pipe designs that depart from the Scottish marque's typically more robust shaping style. The scaled down proportions are ideal for pipe smokers who prefer diminutive pipes that can be effortlessly clenched and are easily transportable. The Blower's Daughter line is also one of the few series offered by the Scottish firm to feature non-filtered pipes, further distinguishing them from other pieces in Rattray's portfolio.
