Crafted by the legendary Bill Taylor, this Ashton Pebble Grain LX represents the pinnacle of English pipe craftsmanship during the late 1980s. The LX stamp designates the pipe’s large, commanding size, while the “Made in England 8”marking confirms its production year as 1988—a period widely regarded as the golden era of Ashton pipes.
This straight billiard showcases a beautifully executed deep pebble grain sandblast, finished in a dark, plum-stained hue that allows the natural grain to shine through. The wide bowl walls offer excellent heat retention, while the traditional vulcanite stem and saddle-bit design ensure a comfortable draw. This is a pipe that balances presence and performance effortlessly.
