[QUOTE="bent bulldog, post: 446424, member: 3484"] I have collected Dunhills for many years, dating back to the mid 1970's and one of the most overlooked advantages of a superior quality pipe is the quality of the mouthpiece. As far as I am concerned the Dunhill fishtail mouthpiece which is hand crafted from a single high grade piece of vulcanite produces a perfect draw, that is , of course assuming the draft hole as been properly bored through the shank. The oil curing process, rumor has it, was discontinued in the late 1960's and the pipes that were produced prior to that do seem to have a different smoking quality about them, sort of a nutlike under taste which I love. So the bottom line for me is that, yes Dunhills made before 1970 are discernably superior smokes, at least for me. Is it psychological? Maybe but so what? If pipe quality was the same for all pipes we would be all smoking varnished drug store brands. [/QUOTE]
