Ashton Pebble Grain pipe, Canadian shape, dark sandblasted

William "Ashton" Taylor worked for Dunhill for twenty-five years, producing some of the most beautiful pipes from the famous English brand known for its white dot.

Ashton pipes echo the shapes, elegance, lines, and finishes of the famous Dunhill pipes of the 1980s.

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

William had to find a solution to remove tannin from the "young" wood.

To this end, the bowls of his pipes are now hardened in boiling oil, which gives them excellent performance and prevents the bitter taste typical of fresh briar.

This special treatment and kiln drying make Ashton pipes among the lightest tobacco pipes in the world.

Another characteristic of Ashton pipes is the mouthpiece material.

A blend of the two materials, which he called asthonite, which he patented.

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

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

Here we have an Ashton Pebble Grain XXX pipe in dark red sandblasted briar, Canadian shape, with a long shank and a 925 silver ferrule.

A well-proportioned and very light pipe. A pleasure to smoke. Hold it in your hand. Elegant with its color and silver ferrule, very British!

The perfectly cylindrical head and large cylindrical bowl are perfect for English Mix tobaccos.

The pipe's foot is flat, allowing it to rest easily on any surface.

The color of this Ashton Pebble Grain XXX Canadian-shaped pipe is natural, and the shine comes from carnauba wax.
