Ashton: Old Church Apple with Bamboo (XX) Tobacco Pipe

The sandblasted finishes of Ashton, started by Bill Taylor and carried forward by Jimmy Craig, are renowned and admired worldwide. Here in the Old Church sandblast, a light stain provides the background for the textured blast, and adds to it a two-knuckle shank of bamboo. The plump bowl inflates from the transition while the mouthpiece descends into saddle configuration in jet-black for balance, with its flared base continuing the rhythm of the bamboo's knuckles. It's an Apple conveying both rustic charm and sophisticated elegance, with a vibrant color palette that's sure to make it a favored part of any collection or rotation.
