[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 109625, member: 509"] In a sense, Dunhill doesn't really "make" pipes anymore, if my understanding is correct. I guess putting a stem on a stummel that was cut in france is a sort of "making" but I fail to see this a mystique-generating stuff. I guess it depends on what you want. Why do you want a Dunhill at all, as compared to some other pipe? If you want an oil cured pipe (which Dunhill haven't been for a long time) try Ashton or Wiley. If you merely want a very good pipe.... good heavens, I can point to a dozen (or maybe a dozen dozen) makers whom I would say make pipes which are "better" than the Dunhill offerings I've seen in shops recently. I've seen some pretty far-fetched price tags on some pretty lousy workmanship. Gaps, poor bit work, sloppy finishing, less than stellar drilling.... Peterson's quality control is currently better, in my opinion, and they aren't even "high grade". I'd say get an old one if you must get one, but I'd also say that a new Radice will kick any Dunhill's butt. Just my .02 though. [/QUOTE]
