[QUOTE="Donk93953, post: 566180, member: 4571"] I was spending too much time and money at Dunhill's shop on Jermyn St some decades ago. They had started making their banded Crosby. The size "3" was a little small in the bowl for my size frame. I approached the manager about making the 3110 into a 4110. "That would be a special order, Sir," was his reply. He quoted me some figures in £'s and I gulped. Of course, the quote varied as to finish, but they were all worthy of reflection. I had had some success on the lecture circuit, so I bit the bullet...hard. "I want a dozen in these finishes.." He didn't even blink..."Very good, sir. We'll need a down payment and contact you probably within the year." It was over a year and I had a call that the pipes were ready. On my next trip to London, I entered the store. Quietly and ceremoniously, the attached, were offered to me for my review. Made in 2002-2004. The 2nd photo were picked up over time, when Dunhill started making the 4110 shape for the general market. I smoke them literally all the time.... [/QUOTE]
