English Estates: Ashton Sovereign Bent Dublin with Silver (XXX) (2020) Tobacco Pipe

Beginning his career under Alfred Dunhill, William Ashton-Taylor eventually founded the Ashton brand in 1980, focusing on using the best materials and artists to craft exemplary pipes. After William passed away in 2009, the brand's name was carried on by Jimmy Craig who maintains the company's long standing reputation of quality pipes crafted with care. This bent Dublin from Ashton is a stunning rendition of the conventional shape. Combining function and flair, this pipe uses a variety of materials and colors that compete for attention throughout. From a sweeping heel, the walls of the bowl begin their flare toward a broad, flat rim. Nestled within the bowl, a hearty tobacco chamber provides plenty of room for lengthy smoking sessions. From a tight transition, a rounded shank extends a few inches before meeting a thick silver accent band at the junction. Completing the pipe's bend at the bit, the stem boasts green and yellow hues that complement the light stain along the stummel.
