Ashton: Brindle Apple (XX) Tobacco Pipe

This straight Apple from Ashton exemplifies Jimmy Craig's penchant for taking classic shapes and elevating them through eye-catching accent stems and especially crisp finishes. This pipe features thoroughly traditional shaping and proportions, with a softly rounded bowl and thick shank that maintain perfect balance. The heel is soft as it curves into the round shank that transitions smoothly into a tapered stem. The stem is rendered in eye-catching crimson and black brindled vulcanite that contrasts the stummel without disrupting its traditional aesthetic. The briar is dressed in a deep ruby sandblast that reveals swirling grain rippling growth rings. This stylish piece is sure to make a valuable contribution to any smoker's collection.
