Ashton Brindle XXX Sandblast 225 Pipe Handmade in England

British excellence: the Ashton myth. Every Ashton pipe carries the legacy of William "Bill" Ashton Taylor, who transformed his decades of experience at Dunhill into his own high-end production. The heart of Ashton's success lies in the treatment of the briar: the blocks are boiled in a mixture of natural oils, a process that eliminates tannins and guarantees an extraordinarily smooth, cool, and "mellow" smoke from the very first light.

Brindle Finish and Shape 225. The Brindle series features a deep, raw, and textured sandblast, stained in a dark brown hue that enhances the briar's three-dimensional structure. This model boasts the iconic shape 225, a perfectly proportioned and slender straight Billiard. The XXX stamp indicates the brand's medium size, offering a generous bowl while maintaining a balanced and comfortable weight.

The rarity of the Green Cumberland mouthpiece. The true distinguishing feature, making this piece unique, is the spectacular mouthpiece. Made of Ashtonite (the patented material that combines the comfort of ebonite with the luster of acrylic), it comes in a very rare Green Brindle/Cumberland variant. The marbled green veins create a hypnotic chromatic contrast with the black and brown of the bowl, elevating the pipe to a true work of art.
