Rattrays Bog Oak 1398

Bog Oak dates back 10,000 years to a time when the English oak was the dominant tree. With climate changes the sea levels rose and lowland forests were flooded and buried within peat bogs and River beds. The absence of air kept the wood from rotting, though its colour and texture changed into a distinctive grey black. This Bog Oak was founded in a tributary of the Donau River near Ulm in southwest Germany. Because of the nature of the wood itself, Bog Oak pipes are very light in weight and excellent absorbers of condensate. This makes for a cool, sweet smoke and a new experience for the modern smoker.
