I think you're right. If I hadn't already overspent for the Month I'd certainly be thinking about it. A classic beauty.

It's a good looking pipe. I am still planning a bespoke bent with Jimmy. Looking forward to seeing how his compare to my memory of my Bill Taylor made Ashton.

I saw that a few nights ago. A bit small for the price (IMO), but it's a sweet looking pipe.

I saw it too a couple of hours ago, it's a bit small for my taste. I do like my smokes to last 90 minutes or so.

There is a nice claret. If it were a lx and bent.I would be all over it.

Nice Claret, but does smokingpipes have to horribly overcharge european marques?

Not sure. For my European pipes I usually get from the maker.

I think it depends on the brand. SPC premium for brindle finish on xxx pipes is $40 usd. When you factor for shipping and tariffs the margin evaporates. Dunhill on the other hand...

@Bigpond SPC also buys it at wholesale rates. I do not have the retailer price for Ashton but they sure do earn more than the $40 premium. That being said, SPC does offer one of the best looking pipes. Dunhill you can buy 3 from Al Pascia for the price SPC charges for 2
