[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 347703, member: 820"] I would agree that Charatans tend to be [i]under[/i]graded. Dunhills, on the other hand, are often overgraded. A Charatan Special stamped Dunhill would be easily be graded a DR A or B. (IMHO, naturally, for the PC crowd) I did, however, read somewhere that apprentices were only allowed to produce the Belvedere line. Maybe a few Specials were made by the trainees, too. That might be why some refer to them as "apprentice grade" pipes. I own a Special Canadian which is without fills but quite really lopsided. It might be one of those pipes turned after a multi-pint lunch, lol. It's a superb smoker, so I've come to love the lumpy thing. [/QUOTE]
