[QUOTE="smoker13, post: 466961, member: 3962"] Well, I don't know what stars were in alignment around a week and a half ago, but one night I actually ordered (read: purchased online) a Dunhill pipe. Yep, even though I've always had a burr up my arse about Dunhill charging so much money for a production pipe, especially when you could buy a perfectly good one for a fraction of the cost from Savinelli, I spent a sack of shekels saved up for one of my favorite artisan pipes (Eltang, Iafisco, etc) on a Dunhill Shell Briar Zulu. SO the pipe did come, and it looks good with so much ring grain I'm a little surprised it wasn't categorized as such (you see, I'm now expertly familiar with all Dunhill's pipe categories, but I'm getting ahead of myself), and I've smoked 2 bowls of McClelland St James Wood (a constant favorite formerly solely dedicated to a Winslow Dublin) in it, 2 wonderful, peaceful, after-breakfast smokes each lasting a little over an hour, and....I'm really getting to like this pipe! I still think Dunhill pipes are overpriced, especially that Cumberland Billiard I've been looking at(!) So I don't know if I'll ever break down again and buy another one. I DO like this Zulu and it smokes wonderfully, so I've let up on my former grudge against Dunhill. But so far I have no plans to get a white dot as my first tattoo. [/QUOTE]
