Ashton Sovereign XXX (2003 Make) Panel Dublin with Square Shank Sitter Estate Pipe

Handmade by the late Bill Taylor, this smooth and beautifully grained Ashton Sovereign XXX estate pipe has a hexagonal bowl and a square shank which makes a very sturdy sitter.  The panels across the bowl are covered with packed straight grain while the underside of the stummel, top of the shank, and broad rim are all covered with dense birdseye.  There is some very minor inner rim darkening, this large bowled and deep chambered smoker has plenty of room for broad leaf, stuffed coins, and folded flakes, though any tongue friendly blend will do in this large and serious smoker from England.  Note that this pipe comes with its original sleeve.
