Ashton: Pebble Grain Rhodesian with Silver Army Mount (XX) Tobacco Pipe

A classic design with Ashton's signature accent work to elevate the composition, this Rhodesian comes to us in XX proportions, analogous to a Group 2 size on Dunhill's shape chart. In typical English fashion, this pipe maintains balanced proportions between the bowl and shank, with a slight emphasis on the paneled rim that creates a feeling of motion when paired with the bent stem. The stummel's heel is smooth and curves gently into the upturned shank as it transitions to its silver mount. The vulcanite stem can be removed, even while the pipe is hot, for easy cleaning and transport. The bowl on this piece forgoes the common beadlines at the rim in favor a smooth taper, allowing the grain to ripple upward uninterrupted. Dressed in Ashton's sharp Pebble Grain sandblast, said grain features excellent growth rings that crisscross the stummel for added texture and visual appeal. This pipe is sure to please smokers who value well-executed forms and convenient functionality.
