THE LAST PRECIOUS FEW PIPES
After listing my pipe collection on , it’s time to part with the favorites - my Ashtons by Bill Taylor, my Ferndowns by Les Wood, and a few other high end pieces. Any of these that don’t sell, I will gladly keep.
This is an early Bill Taylor made 1988 Ashton Sovereign Canadian pipe with nice straight grain. Genuine original Sterling band with a deep black ASHTONITE mouthpiece. Pipe is in Excellent condition.
From 1983-2005 The Ashton Pipe company creator Bill Taylor made WONDERFUL looking and incredible English briars that are so fabulously good smokers, thus highly collectible to this day.
Aston continues with Jimmy Craig who trained under Bill so Ashton quality continues to this day. But we Ashton fans know that Bill Taylor Era pipes are special.
This piece is special and RARE in that it is dated 1988 and straight grains are so rare.
The STRAIGHT GRAIN of the pipe is outstanding. Check out the grain on all sides the bowl and shank. Dunhill would be jealous! It has a deep black ashtonite stem. There are no scratches, dents, shop wear, rim char, excessive cake and teeth chatter.
The pipe is in EXCELLENT condition. It looks almost terrific and smoked even better! It was always rarely and gently smoked with Best Brown Burley and BPC by Perretti.
Its dimensions are:
LENGTH: 6"
HEIGHT: 2”
WIDTH: 1-1/2”
CHAMBER DIAMETER: 13/16"
WEIGHT : 1.27 oz
(making it about a Dunhill group 4-5)
