  • A good interview with an interesting person. I continue to be surprised at the pipes various people collect. To me Ashtons are akin to basket pipes. This is probably because as I joined the KC Pipe Club they had already commissioned an Ashton pipe from Bill Taylor. As it was a straight pipe I wasn’t interested but he had totally botched the job to boot. They had to send them back to England to get them fixed. At this stage of Bill’s life he was much more interested in consuming alcohol than making pipes. I believe he died within two years of this event. Such is life but it tarnished his memory to me.
    The report from NPR was of interest to me and probably other smokers but not to the faceless horde of accusers out there.
