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.

RARE 2005 NEW IN BOX Ashton XXX Billiard pipe with nice 360° ring grain in the Oldchurch (Tanshell) finish. One of the last few years of Genuine Bill Taylor made pipes w/ deep grained CUMBERLAND ASHTONITE mouthpiece in NEW / MINT CONDITION

From 1983-2009 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 pipe is dated 2005 and relief / ring grains are reasonably rare. STILL IN ORIGINAL BOX & SLEEVE.

In addition, this is the fairly large XXX size but it weighs only 1.5 ounces.

The Relief grain of the pipe is outstanding. Check out the grain on all sides the bowl and shank. Dunhill would be jealous!

HEIGHT: 2”

WIDTH: 1-1/2”

CHAMBER DIAMETER: 13/16"
