English Estates: Ashton Oak Billiard with Silver (XX) Tobacco Pipe

Ashton has consistently produced exquisite takes on shape chart standards, staying true to traditional English shapes, while tweaking each rendition in terms of proportions and finishing techniques. This Billiard fits in perfectly with that style, featuring robust proportions throughout with the thick shank continuing the bowl's stoutness. It's a shape that testifies to Jimmy Craig's devotion to old-school design and finishing cues: The dark walnut stain of the Oak finish enhances the traditional appeal of this pipe, with the creamy acrylic stem and sterling silver band providing some brilliant contrast.
