Askwith: Sandblasted Billiard Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-499-0515
An artisan pipe maker from Plymouth, English, Chris Askwith has developed a considerable reputation over the years. He's known for modernizing classic English shapes through a mixture of stylish finishes and colorful polyester stems, both aspects of which are showcased across this refined Billiard. Sleek and streamlined, this piece boasts a supple bowl that stands at the fore of an arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement. The bowl's rounded contours conform naturally to the hand, and the transition leaves more than enough room to drape a digit. Like most Askwith pipes, this piece is incredibly well-balanced, with the bowl, shank, and stem each visually aligned within the composition and contributing to a fairly minimalist profile. An orange sandblast dresses the stummel and highlights gorgeous birdseye across the bowl's flanks, while a tapered stem of silvery blue and white polyester tops everything off and adds a dose of cool contrast to the pipe's palette.
