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.
This paneled Poker from the English marque is quite sleek and architectural, with an octagonal shank and stem to match the crisp, geometric shaping of the bowl. In convention with most Pokers, the tall bowl boasts a flat, sure-sitting heel that allows this pipe to remain sturdily upright on its own. Dressed in a light, smooth finish, the stummel showcases a wealth of lovely grain, with some particularly lovely birdseye and tight tendrils of flame grain. The black and green swirls of the brindled stem add a fetching pop of color to the composition, and this bold flourish pairs well with the stummel's crisp, geometric shaping.
