About This Pipe
Founded in 1983 by William "Bill" Ashton-Taylor, who worked as a Dunhill apprentice, the Ashton workshop is lauded for its incredibly high standards of quality and mastery of classic English design principles. Jimmy Craig currently heads the company, having taken up the mantle after Bill's passing in 2009. Since then, he has sustained the Ashton legacy by steadfastly following the founder's philosophy of equally prioritizing all parts of the pipe, and utilizing only the best materials and most pristine finishing.
A crisp, geometric take on the classic Poker shape, this piece from Ashton is a great example of the timeless utilitarian design, featuring a sleek, paneled bowl set to an octagonal shank and matching saddle stem. This pipe's broad, flat heel and balanced proportions make it an exceptional Sitter, and with its handsome finishing, it's sure to make a fetching desk pipe. The pipe belongs to Ashton's Brindle series, and thus wears a dark, crisp sandblast complemented by a green-and-black brindled stem.
