Astleys Sandblasted Canted Dublin Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates [SOLD OUT]

Description

Boasting more than two decades of aging on the briar, Astley pipes exemplify the pinnacle of English craftsmanship, representing the work of renowned artisans from the British Isles. Astley, originally a tobacconist, established a store in England back in 1862. This shop collaborated with some of the most esteemed pipe makers, including Charatan, James Upshall, Dunhill, Les Wood, and Bill Taylor of Ashton Pipes, to produce their exclusive label pipes.

Regrettably, the shop ceased operations in 1998 when Paul Bentley relocated it from its original site at 109 Jermyn Street to Piccadilly Arcade.

 

Astleys had a size chart, which played a large part in how they priced their pipes. This dublin is on the bigger side, with a 23.5mm chamber.
