Chris Askwith Hailing from Plymouth in the Southwest of England. Chris has been making pipes by hand since 2007. After spending his spare time restoring estate pipes he met Paul Hubartt of Larryssons pipes who gave him the opportunity to create his first dozen pipes, which he used to equip his own workshop at home where all his Askwith pipes are now made. Made from only the finest Briar, English Morta, and strawberry wood, Askwith pipes are some of the very few made in England that look to the classic shape charts. His sandblasting and smooth finishes are fantastic and one will encounter very delicate and precise hand-cut stems from Lucite, Ebonite, Cumberland, and Horn. Each piece is fitted with a delrin tenon and can be a study in engineering perfection. Many English pipes are made well, but Askwith pipes are steps above in quality compared to mass produced pieces in nearly every way possible.

Morta Bulldog This absolute behemoth of a pipe is quite possibly one of the largest pipes to cross our shelves. The English Bamboo was grown in Chris's very own garden and was the inspiration for this incredible pipe. The large bog oak bowl has a stunning ring grain around the circumference of the bowl and is finished with a short black acrylic saddle stem. This pipe needs to be seen in the flesh to be truly appreciated
