Rattray's Bel Black Matted

Rattray’s Bel Black Matted – an elegant pipe lighter with clean lines

The Rattray’s Bel Black Matted is a stylish pipe lighter for anyone who appreciates a slim design, reliable technology and an understated, elegant look. The matt black finish looks modern, high-quality and pleasantly understated – ideal for pipe smokers seeking a functional lighter that performs well in everyday use whilst complementing a well-maintained pipe set perfectly. Thanks to its compact shape, the model sits securely in the hand and takes up hardly any space in a pocket.

Angled soft flame for pipe-friendly lighting

The Bel series was developed specifically for pipe smokers. The lighter features an angled, pipe-friendly soft flame, which some retailers also describe as a 45° 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 feel when opening and lighting. The Bel Black Matted thus combines traditional design with genuine 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, direct to use and pleasantly reliable – ideal for anyone who prefers a straightforward lighter with a traditional character. Despite its slim design, the Bel Black Matted has a gas capacity of around 9 grams, making it suitable for numerous ignitions. Depending on the retailer, the lighter is specified as weighing approximately 75 to 76 grams, with dimensions of around 6.0 to 6.1 cm in height, 3.7 cm in width and 1.0 to 1.1 cm in depth. The series is named after the Celtic god of fire, Bel – a fitting name for a lighter that harmoniously combines classic elegance, functionality suited to pipe smoking and reliable everyday practicality. In many shops, the model is also available in gift packaging, making it an excellent choice as a stylish gift for pipe enthusiasts.
