    About Dunhill & Charatan

    I talked to Hener recently about this acquisition and, he confirmed to me that Charatan is still under the umbrella of the Richemont group, just like them. Interesting, is not it? I don't know about you guys, but I didn't know that. Best, : :

    About Generosity

    A few days ago, I was talking to Steve (one of our colleagues here, named @lightmybriar) about Dunhill pipes.

    Just to share, guys... I met Neal on Instagram - I start to follow him because of his amazing collection very well presented in his photos.

    Just a Dunhill Calabash History.

    I found this pipe by accident, from a pen salesman. It was an incredible Dunhill Calabash: I couldn't believe it! It was dirty, rusty and the corkwood was not good, but It has a lot of potentials! I talked to a great friend of mine and asked him if it could be restored. I was very happy...
