Made in England
Oil-cured briar
Free gift wrapping is included
The Ashton Brindle XX Sandblasted Straight Apple briar pipe is a magnificent testament to traditional British pipemaking, fully handcrafted according to the legendary standards established by Bill Taylor. This collectible piece showcases the esteemed 'Brindle' finish—a deep, crisp sandblast that beautifully elevates the natural growth rings of the briar, finished in a warm, rich reddish-brown stain. The classic 'Apple' silhouette features a perfectly plump, spherical bowl that feels incredibly natural in the palm, well-balanced by a lightweight straight profile. The XX stamp designates a highly versatile, medium sizing. Crowning the shank is Ashton’s signature custom cumberland stem, whose swirling red-and-brown graining coordinates flawlessly with the warm tones of the wood. Performance-wise, the pipe benefits from Ashton's iconic oil-curing process; this unique treatment drives out any residual sap from the block.
