Chris Askwith’s reputation as one of Britain’s premier artisan pipe makers is well earned, and this Sandblast Apple 515 is a perfect example of his dedication to both form and function. This piece showcases the timeless Apple shape, which is known for its rounded bowl and comfortable balance, making it an excellent choice for long, relaxed smokes.
The deep sandblast finish enhances the pipe’s visual appeal, bringing out the natural grain of the briar while providing a textured surface that feels superb in hand. The contrast between the jet-black rustication and the eye-catching yellow acrylic stem is nothing short of striking, making this a pipe that stands out in any collection. The white banding at the mount adds a touch of refinement, subtly framing the stem’s swirling marbled effect.
Engineered with a smooth, open draw and precision drilling, this Askwith Sandblast Apple offers a cool, effortless smoking experience. Designed without a filter, it maintains a pure, traditional draw that seasoned smokers will appreciate.
For those who admire handmade pipes with a bold personality, the Chris Askwith Sandblast Apple 515 is a masterpiece—an exceptional combination of classic British craftsmanship and contemporary design.
