The "139" Billiard is a shape exclusive to Rattray's Helmet series and is the only straight pipe in the series. Proportionally and size-wise it fits in well to the Scottish marque's typically robust style, with hearty substance through the shank to accommodate the use of 9mm filters and with a muscular bowl that houses a generous chamber for lengthy smoking sessions. For pipe smokers who appreciate classic designs in a larger size, Rattray's "139" is worth considering.

Marked by a metal wind cap that protects tobacco from the elements, the Helmet series from Rattray's is a convenient line designed for outdoor smoking sessions. Unlike other wind caps which open upward on a hinge, that of the Helmet series slides horizontally across the top of the chamber for a lower profile, replete with a vent in the shape of Rattray's logo. Not only does the cap safely protect the ember inside, but it also adds regal flash to this piece, contrasting against the stummel's dark sandblast and echoing the chrome accent along the shank end.
