Ashton: Brindle Bent Billiard Sitter with Silver (XX) Tobacco Pipe

While we've seen this design from Ashton a handful of times in the past, this particular bent Billiard Sitter is one of my favorites. From form to finish, this is quite an impressive piece and should be an excellent candidate for anyone in search of a new desk pipe. The bowl exhibits a proud, upright posture, sitting stably on any flat surface and offering a respectably deep chamber within. The low-set transition provides ample room for the thumb to comfortably rest before leading to the elegantly downturned tapered stem. It's finished here in the Brindle sandblast with plenty of crisp texture for wandering fingers to enjoy, its deep crimson stain complementing the red and black tones of the cumberland mouthpiece while a sterling silver accent band lends it a refined aesthetic.
