Ashton: Old Church Billiard (XXX) Tobacco Pipe

Ashton prides itself on enacting well-executed sandblasts accompanied by traditional shaping and fetching vulcanite stems, all of which are presented in this straight Billiard. The full-bodied bowl houses a good bit of chamber depth and is nicely balanced by the rounded shank. It's dressed in the workshop's grain-defining Old Church tanblast, which shows off some especially nice growth rings amid wispy tendrils of flame grain, all of which is complemented by a classic cumberland stem. A handsome, timeless English pipe, it offers an abundance of rugged tactile intrigue and eye-catching appeal.
