Ashton: Sovereign Poker with Silver (ELX) Tobacco Pipe

A hearty, palm-filling Poker from Ashton, this piece bears an ELX stamp, denoting it's substantial size, with the tall boasting a tobacco chamber over two inches in depth, ensuring plenty of long, luxurious smoking sessions. The bowl features a slightly cinched waistline and a subtle taper to the flattened heel that enables the piece to sit quite sturdily without the need for a pipe stand. The shank extends from the tight-knit, low-slung transition before giving way to an abbreviated tapered stem of black and red, their junction marked by a sterling silver accent. The metallic flash of the band and the vibrant hues of the stem add a splash of color that offsets the warm, natural Sovereign smooth finish that dresses the stummel. Handsome and charming, showcasing some rather fetching grain about the stummel, this piece would make for a utilitarian yet fetching desk pipe.
