Modern/Current Make Ashton pipes
thank you! will go through the ones I know and look around. I can buy from UK usually, with ebay it is a bit hard to know what is a good price when you are not familiar with the market for Ashtons yet, hard for me to tell if a price of an Ashton from X year with X finish is fair or not without... -

Modern/Current Make Ashton pipes
Thank you, so the Taylor era is actually the one which is possible to date? and yes, must be some sort of workshop or factory situation with the amounts they make, and I am guessing (really just guessing), they made more back in the day, I think it's time to just pull up the pipedia page and... -
Modern/Current Make Ashton pipes
I am not going to quote everyone but these are all very helpful messages! thank you very much. ♥️ I am happy to hear that regardless of the inconsistency, overall there are good new ones you guys are happy with. @bluegrassbrian is there a way to find out/date Ashton pipes (other than the bill... -
All Day Tobacco
all day would be something that is easy to puff on, of course slow smoking is ideal and it's good to practice that and be able to do that consistently but realistically for me it does happen when i do puff fast if I'm distracted or doing something else, so something which isn't especially bitey...- Snakeseye

Modern/Current Make Ashton pipes
Hello, For a while I wanted an Ashton pipe, I find them to fit to my taste the best among the classic English pipes. I know of the reputation of older Ashtons, or at least know people who really like them. It is a bit hard to start hunting for one, especially when you don't grasp what is a fair... -
Using Alcohol and Cotton Balls on Meerschaum
got it, makes sense, I always sanitize my briars the same way, I did feel a bit strange about not doing it on meers - I am glad that it seems like it is a possibility, for future estate meers I will get, thank you for posting about it- Snakeseye

New Pipe Days are the Best: J. Alan Squashed Apple and Nate King Tomato.
killer choices, beautiful pipes. what Nate King did with the stubby thick shank is really cool to me. if you have more photos of that photo I'd love to see them! enjoy those beautiful pipes.- Snakeseye

Using Alcohol and Cotton Balls on Meerschaum
Thank you for your answers, I have cleaned the meer which has been giving me an off taste thanks to your advice and I'm just about to test it, I am optimistic. what I mean about the slowing down of colouring, is that in my head you use the alcohol and pads to clean the meer by pulling stuff out...- Snakeseye

Using Alcohol and Cotton Balls on Meerschaum
great thread, good to put those common tips to the test sometimes. how often do you do this kind of cleaning to your meerschaums? or was it just for the experiement? do you think it potentially slows off further colouring since you pull gunk and maybe some of the tars in the meer out? what about...- Snakeseye

Do You Ash?
I sometimes do, it's not something im very aware of anymore. I don't think I do it every smoke, but I think on most smokes at least once, kinda go if I feel it's needed or taste is ashy. not sure if what I'm doing is ideal, works for me. I usually don't agitate the ash or bump the pipe for the...- Snakeseye
