Old Church Bent Dublin (XX) (2026) Tobacco Pipe

At 15, William (Bill) Ashton-Taylor began his pipe-making career by signing under Alfred Dunhill. Starting as an intern and affiliated 'tea boy,' Bill retained a keen interest in pipe making. Eventually, this sparked the attention of Harry Saigrott, who began showing Bill the artistry of pipe making. By 1980, Bill founded Ashton Company, setting a high standard for craftsmanship and the quality of materials used. Bill passed away in 2009, but pipe maker Jimmy Craig proudly carries on the Ashton name. This bent Dublin is dressed in Ashton's Old Church sandblast, one of the marque's famous hallmarks. The warm hues of the stummel are accentuated by the red and black saddle stem, which bends significantly in an arcing curve.
