Ashton: Old Church Dublin with Silver (ELX) Tobacco Pipe

The straight Dublin is typically a svelte, lightweight design, but Jimmy Craig of Ashton pipes has a penchant for rendering large classics, and he outdid himself on this ELX-sized iteration. A crisply flaring bowl stands almost two-and-a-half inches tall at the shoulder, with thick, insulating walls protecting a cavernous chamber within. A firm heel at the fore gives way to a muscular round shank out back, joining forces with a handsome tapered stem of cumberland to stretch to nearly seven-and-a-half inches in overall length. Ashton's iconic, lightly stained Old Church sandblast reveals stunning blasted birdseye on the flanks, and a broad silver band puts an elegant exclamation point on an already stunning pipe.
