Brindle Paneled Poker (ELX) (2026) Tobacco Pipe

Ashton's "ELX" pipes are substantial, palm-filling hunks of briar, as evidenced by this Poker shape. This piece boasts nearly six and a half inches of total length and a capacious chamber almost two inches deep, and it's lent a geometric appearance by the eight crisp panels that encompass the tall, hearty bowl. The structural shaping continues along the thick, boxy shank and the shoulders of the saddle stem for a bold, unified presentation. The upscaled proportions of the stummel make an excellent canvas for one of the English workshop's signature sandblasts, which dresses the briar here and accentuates the grain with aplomb. As the name of this piece suggests, the stem here is one of their signature, colorful brindled offerings with swirls of black and vibrant green. As is typical for the Poker shape, this piece sits sturdily without the aid of a stand, making it ideal for those looking for an imposing, eye-catching desk pipe.
