La fabrication des pipes Ashton est fondée sur une méthode ingénieuse développée dans un premier temps en 1915 et améliorée ensuite après des années d'expérimentation par William Ashton-Taylor. Après avoir tourné les têtes dans des blocs de bruyère, elles sont chauffées pendant huit heures afin que leur bois se dilate. Puis elles sont immergées pendant huit autres heures dans un mélange composé de trois huiles bénéfiques. Au cours de ce processus le bois agit comme une éponge en absorbant les huiles. | |||
After steeping, the oiled bowls are placed on heated brass pegs where they reside for fourteen days. Throughout this period the oil "exudes" from the briar, bringing with it unwanted sap and residue and leaving behind the nut-like flavor for which ASHTON pipes have become renowned. | After steeping, the oiled bowls are placed on heated brass pegs where they reside for fourteen days.
