[QUOTE="SpeedyPete, post: 467067, member: 1538"] I agree, to some extent :roll: The nearest I could come is a 1945 ( I was born in 1944) Shell Briar Billiard in 100% perfect order. I'm smoking a stop of HOTW in it right now and it tastes fantastic. Beautiful grain, excellent grain !! But, it took a long time to find a tobacco to match this pipe. Most of my other favourite tobaccos either don't like the pipe or visa versa. I also have a 1980 Cumberland bent billiard which is so beautifully preserved that I don't want to smoke it :oops: I just polish it from time to time and then it goes back in the rack. I also have 20 Savinelli pipes and I would rather buy some more of these than another Dunhill. Can't go wrong with a Sav, whether old or new. [/QUOTE]
