Ashton: Old Church Oom Paul (XXX) Tobacco Pipe

Classic shapes and traditional finishes have been Ashton's bread and butter since the brand started in the early 1980s after Bill Ashton-Taylor left Dunhill. For the past decades, Jimmy Craig has continued and strengthened that reputation for quality renditions of English shape chart standards. Presented here is the iconic Oom Paul, defined by a full bend, cylindrical bowl, and stretched heel. In this particular piece, said heel has been flattened to ensure that it's not only a comfortable jaw-hanger, but a worthy desk pipe as well. Dressed here in the English marque's Old Church sandblast, the vibrant stain and rugged texture testify to Ashton's renown for finishing.
