old versus currently made Dunhill pipes...

[Anonymous]

A tricky question.
Some high ends do smoke better, then again some of my cheap pipes have out smoked Dunnies.
I think it boils down to care in production. High ends are carefully manufactured from higher quality briar. More care is taken in drilling and fitting etc.

You buy Dunhills to impress people who don't know any better........... :roll:
Like Sas said, there are literally DOZENS of pipes I would buy before even looking at a Dunhill.

Tend to agree here, but they are still nice.

Peter,
They are "nice", but don't smoke any better than most of the pipes I've owned.
If I found a "true gem" and could pick it up for a fair price, I would. The Dunhill Marque is way over priced. It was just plain old snobbery. The brand has fallen on its' laurels and hasn't produced anything worth while in quite some time. Sure, it's nice to have a gold adorned pipe or a Namiki Gold Fish, but why? It's just a pipe!!! You put tobacco in it and smoke it.

I have the ultimate solution to the problem.......
Just buy a Jan Pietenpauw & Son custom made. End of problem

Happy smokes Brother!
