$38 DUNHILL?

[Mr. Doody]

in honor of cartaphilus's .sig, i'm thinking of adding this to my own:



pm me if you want one of your own!

doody.

UPDATE: for the avoidance of doubt, i'm not poking fun at anybody. i think Cartaphilus's .sig image is stupendous and have loved it since the first time i saw it! i was spurred to create my own to reflect my perspectives on the world - not to denigrate anybody other's perspectives. i'm a live-and-let-live kinda guy. liberals. republicans. weed-smokers. tea-totallers. gun owners. gun abolitionists. everybody's entitled to their opinions and beliefs.

(Well, that makes two of us. Don't tell anyone. I know of another in the next county, but the good ones are all dead. Shhhh...)

I agree Ron, the whole Dunhill mystique is a little over whelming for me to even start to get to grips with it all, there are still far too many fakes floating around, hell the fakes are even collectable these days, weird I know but seems they're collectable 'because' they're fakes, go figure huh!

The overwhelming thing that I noticed were the over thin walls. I'm no Dunnie expert by any means, but can't think they made a pipe with walls this thin. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Brew, I have a '69 DH Tanshell billiard with walls about this thin. Have to smoke it real slow to keep from overheating bowl. I'm much more careful about checking wall thickness after purchasing this one!! :shock: FTRPLT

It probably was originally lined with meer and some one removed it, but hey, load it up with something that smokes cool, take it easy and smoke 'er till it burns thru :twisted: :twisted:

Steve Laug has successfully relined a pipe like this, detailed in his Reborn Pipes blog.

My $10 Dunhill is the one on the far right (do not confuse this with any comment on the parallel political context of the thread  ):

Is that an LB? A $10 Dunhill? Has the bottom fallen out of the market? Particulars, please.

What Al's not telling you is he spent $200 on that Grabow on the left by mistake. :lol:

It all works out somehow. :heart:

It is an LB; most of the stamping is quite faint, perhaps having been buffed off, although the stem is not proud of the wood so perhaps it is a replacement. Junk shop find, so I doubt that has much to say about the state of the market.

Killer score! Egad, but I love billiards--I sometimes wonder why I bother with anything else. Then again, I love fedoras, but never wear them. Too difficult to do, without suggesting irony.

Sorry. My mind jumps about a bit. To get back on track, why not put an insert in the $38 Dunhill? I would suggest corn cob.

Doncha just love irony and, of course, dead parrots?

Ditto that!
