ASTLEY 109 Jermin Street

I've inherited this pipe from the late Muddler who was a member here. He passed away after suffering from cancer for more than 2 years.

Does anyone have knowledge about this brand, please?

Plenty of good information here, I remember Muddler and saddened by his passing, hope you cherish the Astley.

Thank you ever so much, mr Banjo!

And yes, I will cherish this pipe in memory of a great man. Mike was such a good friend, always friendly and helpful. It's been a while but I still miss him a lot. I'm so happy to smoke one of his favourite pipes.

One of those proprietary brands I feel was greatly, and sadly, damaged by the guy who bought jamesupshallpipeco many years ago. I've seen some gorgeous Astleys.

Pete...Enjoy 'Mudds Astley!!! I was truly shocked when I learned of his passing. I spent a lot of time going back-and-forth with him and the other South African brothers here and on BIPS!! When I was working in Jo'Burg in 2008, Mudds and I tried to get together but couldn't get our schedules to mesh. Really regret that didn't happen. He was a fine man! FTRPLT
