Sandblasted Morta Rhodesian (2026) Tobacco Pipe

Chris Askwith is a man of many talents — the foremost two being pipe making and silversmithing. In addition to his stunning silverwork, Askwith's pipes are known to feature other, more exotic materials as well, and he often brings a modern approach to classic shapes. Fashioned from morta, this Rhodesian is certainly a modern take on the classic shape, featuring a crisp silhouette commended by an eye-catching medley of tones and textures.

Measuring a little over five inches in length and featuring a particularly squat bowl, this is a conveniently compact rendition of the classic Rhodesian shape. The morta's distinctive grain imbues the stummel with a mesmerizing appearance and a wealth of tactile appeal, and its dark, smoky coloring makes the perfect backdrop for both Askwith's stunning silverwork and the vibrant blue acrylic stem. Dark streaks adorn the sky-blue stem, tying the piece together, tonally speaking, while the silver band at the junction adds an eye-catching yet elegant dose of flash to the ensemble. Crisp, compact, and colorful, this Rhodesian is sure to make an inimitable addition to any pipe collection.
