This is one of those not-truly-rare-but-not-often-seen Dunhill shapes. I guess the right word would be "uncommon." My (now-ex) wife used to call it my Popeye pipe. :D
Even though the airway is smaller than normal/average---about .110"---it draws and smokes just fine. Feels kind of like sipping through one of those tiny cocktail straws.
Super light, super stable when sitting on a flat surface, lots of cragginess to ponder, tastes good... what's not to like?

I love the shape, it seems sturdy and delicate simultaneously. But the cragginess is what caused me to drool, the old Dunhill Shells were remarkable. I believe they were Algerian briar, I wish it was still available today.
