Ashton Ebony pipe Cherrywood shape dark sandblasted

Comfortable and light English tobacco pipe produced by Ashton for the Ebony series Cherrywood shape slightly cutty and long mouthpiece.

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

The Ashton pipes recall the shapes, elegance, lines and finishes of the famous Dunhill pipes of the eighties.

But the tobacco pipes of William “Ashton” Taylor 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 characteristic of Ashton pipes is the material of the mouthpiece.

A mixture 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 retain their shiny black color.

Here we have an Ashton Ebony pipe in sandblasted briar, classic cherrywood shape but with a long stem and mouthpiece.

A well-proportioned pipe, comfortable to rest on any surface and very light.

Pleasant to hold. Elegant.

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

The color of this Ashton Ebony Cherrywood pipe is natural and the shine is given by the carnauba wax.
