Sasieni Ashford Walnut

[ssjones]

I was fortunate to find yet another Sasieni Ashford to round out my group, this one in Walnut finish. The pipe was restored nicely by the seller but it had one bowl dent to remove. I put some additional pictures and info on the Reborn Pipes blog:

The wife grabbed and wrapped it, so it is now under the tree until tomorrow!

2014 was an Ashford year for you Al.
Now get off your Ash and find a different shape to love.

Congrats on the beautiful Sasieni! You got a great deal on it, especially when you consider what this one went for;

Smoke it in good health.

Right, congrats on that one. The tapered Ashford is a thing of beauty. Good thing I was off doing less important stuff or the price would have been higher. Great trio.

I figured you got the pre-war one that Sable posted, that one went wild.

Thanks guys. I don't get the patent era thing and at those prices, I never will! Pre-Transition pipes (46-79) smoke well and have great stems. They're still affordable, so I'll stay in that wheel-house.
