Ashton: Old Church Rhodesian with Silver (XXX) Tobacco Pipe

This Rhodesian perfectly encapsulates the Ashton style of pipe making, as it showcases the English marque's penchant for classic English shaping, extra-craggy sandblasts, brindled vulcanite stems, and stylish silverwork. The bowl, complete with tapered rim and wrapping beadlines, is rather muscular in its construction and stands proudly at the fore of a lithe shank-and-stem arrangement, which strikes a fluid S-curve and promotes a comfortable, hands-free smoking posture, out back. The Old Church tanblast dresses the stummel and brings rugged definition to the briar, while a sterling silver accent along the junction and a colorful vulcanite mouthpiece add touches of vibrancy to the pipe in profile.
