I was eyeballing a Dunhill Patent today, but it has a replacement stem, and I’ve been moving towards larger pipes. Then I got the email alert that Smoking Pipes is having a 20% off sale on estate pipes, and I immediately started browsing my favorite pipe makers.
This Ashton LX really caught my eye and its beautiful sandblast gave me that “feeling,” which is how I usually decide my purchases. And the description was “Smoked, but rather clean.” That’s a rare sight for Smoking Pipes’ estate pipes. They almost always have something small, like “Minor rim darkening.” Big pipe, big bowl, I was sold.
So what did you guys get? Let’s see them!
