Old Church Canadian with Silver (LX) (2026) Tobacco Pipe

Headed by Jimmy Craig, English workshop Ashton primarily crafts pipes of a timeless, classical style, often elevated by stems of signature brindled vulcanite and fitments of elegant silver. This XL-sized Canadian is an excellent encapsulation of all those features. An appropriately extended take on the archetypal shape, this pipe's reserved silhouette is punctuated by a broad band of silver at the junction. An extended, ovoid shank pushes out of a wide transition to meet a tapering stem of brindled black and orange vulcanite at the aforementioned junction, the confluence of disparate colors offering rich contrast that naturally draws the eye to the aft side. Up front, the bowl stands on a rounded heel and boasts a subtle, soft curvature up to its flat rim, keeping the feel in hand comfortable while offering plenty of space to showcase the crisp, terracotta-hued sandblast of Ashton's Old Church.
