Ashton: Brindle Poker (XXX) Tobacco Pipe

This Poker from Jimmy Craig of Ashton offers the sure-sitting capabilities and utilitarian design sense associated with the shape. The thick-walled, cylindrical bowl possesses a flatted heel that enables the piece to sit sturdily without the aid of stand, ideal for the busy multitasker who wishes to keep their hands free. The shank-and-stem arrangement stretches from the base of the bowl, just above the aforementioned heel, and keeps the pipe's profile sleek and streamlined. Of course, as an Ashton pipe, the stummel wears a dark, ruby-tinged sandblast that accentuates the natural grain orientation of the briar. A tapered stem of green and blue vulcanite tops everything off and provides further visual intrigue.
