Rattray's Bel Black Chrome

Rattray’s Bel Black Chrome – an elegant pipe lighter with striking contrast

The Rattray’s Bel Black Chrome is a stylish pipe lighter for anyone who appreciates classic engineering, a slim design and a sophisticated look. The combination of a black front and chrome-plated elements creates a look that is modern, high-quality and timeless. This is precisely why this model is the perfect complement to a well-maintained pipe set and cuts a fine figure both in everyday use and as a gift.

Angled soft flame for pipe-friendly lighting

The Bel series was developed specifically with pipe smokers in mind. The lighter features an angled soft flame, which several retailers describe as a side-facing or slightly inclined pipe flame. This allows the tobacco to be lit precisely and in a controlled manner, without putting unnecessary strain on the pipe bowl. The flip-top cap over the burner is particularly practical: it protects the flame from dirt whilst ensuring a classic, comfortable grip when opening and lighting. The Bel Black Chrome thus combines a traditional design with impressive everyday practicality.

Flint ignition, 9 g gas capacity and high-quality finish

For this model, Rattray’s has opted for a classic flint ignition system with a non-slip friction wheel. This technology is regarded as robust, reliable and direct to use – ideal for anyone who prefers a straightforward lighter with a traditional character. Despite its slim design, the Bel Black Chrome has a gas capacity of around 9 grams, offering plenty of ignitions before it needs refilling. Several retailers also state a weight of around 75 grams and dimensions of approximately 6.0 cm in height, 3.7 cm in width and 1.0 cm in depth. The model comes in attractive gift packaging, making it a lovely gift idea for pipe enthusiasts. The series is named after the Celtic god of fire, Bel – a fitting name for a lighter that harmoniously combines classic lines, reliable performance and an elegant appearance.
