ASHTON XX BRINDLE BENT BILLIARD PIPE - HANDMADE IN ENGLANDWilliam “Ashton” Taylor he worked for Dunhill for twenty-five years where he began training as a pipe maker at the age of fifteen. In 1983 he had the courage to start his own business and since then his pipes have found admirers all over the world. Billy, as his friends call him, has maintained the classic style he learned at Dunhill. At the beginning he did not have any supply of already seasoned and well-dried briar. Therefore he had to find another solution to remove the tannin from the 'young' wood. To this end, the heads of his pipes are now hardened in boiling oil which gives them an excellent yield and avoids the appearance of the bitter taste, typical of fresh briar. Alongside numerous personalized creations, mention should be made of the invention of the material for the mouthpiece. Billy has solved the well-known problem "rubber or acrylic?" producing a mixture composed of the two materials, which he called asthonite, which he proceeded to patent. Asthonite mouthpieces are not quite as soft as rubber, which is comfortable to hold between your teeth, but they are still much more pleasant than acrylic mouthpieces which are hard. On the other hand, they do not change color and retain their shiny black color. In his small factory, near Oldchurch Rise in London, he produces, together with three collaborators, around 3,500 handcrafted pipes a year. To be able to truly enjoy smoking, he advises not to consider the pipe as something particular but as a part of themselves.
