Hard to get Ashton pipes

I realy do like Ashton pipes, but those are very hard to get. I like the typical English style, classical, decent and good quality. Their knowledge of pipemaking is one of the best in the world. They select the briar carefully for each pipe, different briar is being used for smooth or sandblasted finishes. I hope I can get more of the in the near future.
