Pebble Grain pipe Billiard shape dark sandblasted

William “Ashton” Taylor worked for Dunhill for twenty five years producing some of the most beautiful pipes of the famous English brand of the white point.

The Asthon pipes take up the famous Dunhill pipes of the eighties in the shapes, elegance, lines and finishes.

But William “Ashton” Taylor's Pebble Grain pipes are famous for the treatment that the briar undergoes.

William had to find a solution to eliminate the tannin from the 'young' wood.

To this end, the heads of his pipes are now hardened in boiling oil which gives them an excellent yield and avoids the appearance of the bitter taste, typical of fresh briar.

This particular treatment and drying in ovens make Ashton pipes among the lightest tobacco pipes in the world.

Another feature of Ashton pipes is the material of the mouthpiece.

A mixture composed of the two materials, which he called asthonite, which he has patented.

The asthonite mouthpieces are not quite as soft as rubber, which is comfortable to hold between the teeth, but they are much more pleasant than the hard acrylic ones.

On the other hand, they do not change color and retain their shiny black color.

The foot of the pipe is flat so as to allow easy support on any surface.
