Things are trickling in...I was pleasantly surprised that the Dunhill had a 14k yellow gold band added for aesthetics as per sp. Looks nicer in person than the pictures! And the Becker along with a shirt from country squire!

Awesome so far...hope these storms don't derail the rest of the goodies on their way!

I bought a claret version of this from Smokingpipes US site. Is it an X?
Yes sir, single X. I love smaller pipes, planning on using this as a dedicated burley pipe (Solani Aged Burley, 3 P’s, and the like). I’ve seen quite a few of these small apples pop up lately. Won’t have mine for at least a week I’d think, so can’t say how it performs. Never been let down by Ashton yet, though!

I had my eye on an Ashton Pebble Grain Canadian, but an unexpected expense came up yesterday that kicked my budget in the nuts. As far as consolation prizes go, though, I've had a crush on these Peterson Newgrange Spigots for a while. I know not everyone is a fan, but I am, so I bought it. It's weird, I do not really like smooth, ebony pipes, but black blasts and rusticated pipes are among my favorites.

I finally caved. I’ve had my eye on this one for a few weeks, and now it was just too good to pass up. Shipped from smokingpipes.eu for $128! This little gem has so much character ?

Ashton shaping can be really hit or miss for me, but holy shit, they do an incredible job with apples/princes/tomatoes. All those little, round guys! Great pipe.

Beautiful Ashton! Congrats.

I've been looking at a few of them myself, and I have a question for the experts:

I can't say I know a lot about them (only the basic story...and I own only one) so maybe this is not unusual, but I was under the impression that they all had the red dot on the stem.

So I'm just curious as to why this particular one below does not. I've not yet seen any other new Ashton that doesn't have it...any thoughts?
