[QUOTE="Nick, post: 27793, member: 255"] Ashtons are great pipes, but most of them are actually from frazed bowls. At least that's my understanding of it. I know he does turn some of them himself too. But how to tell the two apart is a mystery to me. I don't remember whether he oil cures his bowls. If my memory serves, he used to, but I'm not positive on that. I have had a number of Astons, but gave them up. Maybe i'm just a pipe snob, or an elitist, but if I'm paying that much for a pipe, I want it to be all hand worked. His stemwork is fabulous. I don't know much about Ian Walker. It seems like he's making a good pipe, but I've never had one. I'm sure others can give a much better description. [/QUOTE]
