[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 109660, member: 820"] I'd agree that the latest Dunhills are probably not on par with the ones made in the heyday of pipe smoking. Better briar was more readily available and more care was given to the product. I had a wonderful Root Briar size 3 Billiard from the Early 60's that smoked like a dream. I also have a few from the 80s and a couple from the 90's which I bought new. I also think that age itself, no matter when it was made, will improve them. My first new Dunnie I got in the late 80's and now really smokes nicely in comparison to the same model I have that was made made in 2005. I think that could be said for just about any pipe too. In general my oldest pipes are the best smokers for me. Be that because I know them well, or that they indeed change I couldn't say. I personally just like them, and despite their relative decline in quality I always keep my eye out for them. My most recent PAD was an ebay estate Dunhill Tanshell billiard. Piet graciously helped me with the restoration via email and it turned out very well. [/QUOTE]
