The Ashton Pebble Grain XX 226 is a classic English sandblasted pipe that showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that have made Ashton one of the world's most respected pipe makers. Handcrafted in England from carefully selected briar, this handsome straight 226 shape combines a tall, generously sized bowl with a long, elegant shank for a refined and timeless profile.
Finished in Ashton's iconic Pebble Grain sandblast, the briar reveals striking ring grain and rugged texture beneath a rich black stain accented by warm reddish-brown undertones. The deeply blasted finish not only highlights the natural beauty of the briar but also provides a comfortable feel in hand.
Adding both durability and distinction is the APS sterling silver military-style mount, allowing for easy stem removal while enhancing the pipe's overall aesthetic. The jet-black stem perfectly complements the dark sandblast, creating a sophisticated contrast that collectors and smokers alike appreciate.
