Dunhill Lovat

If I was a rich man.
A Dunhill with awesome grain! Too bad it's about $800 above my budget. :crying:

Dunhill 390
IIRC the bit of wood in the tamper is part of an actual deckchair from the ship.

The money you "saved" from that pipe is more that any pipe I own!

I'd rather have a $500.00 estate Dunhill and 10lbs. of Blackhouse. But that's just me.

That's a beautiful Dunhill. I love their sandblasted pipes. Alas, out of my price range, especially the "Battle of Britain" set I drool over. :rofl:

That is seriously nice. I wish SPC did lay a way.
The price of current Dunhill's is a bit silly, imo. While they are typically excellent smokers and have excellent engineering, their pricing has put them way out of reach of the common man.

While it is a nice pipe, I could easily pass that one up for a sandblasted Dunhill.

I learned my lesson about mentioning Dunhill on here..

Here's a damn nice pipe and would leave you $75 for tobacco.

That Dunhill has superb grain and is one of my favorite shapes, but it is tiny. That is a lot of money for such a small pipe. I think Dunhills under 200.00 are a pretty good deal. I have been smoking my 2 more often and I am liking them more. I am starting to appreciate their lightness and their smoking qualities better. I think I needed to find a better method of smoking flake in them and now that I am cubing my flakes, I am getting more out of my Dunhill's. I just saw a gorgeous ODA Root briar go for a great deal on Ebay. If I wasn't buying smaller and lighter pipes now( group 5's) I might have gone after that one. Here is the listing.

Owning a Dunhill is on my bucket list for sure, but they are all so damn pricey!

Yeah that's the way I feel about it too Spyder. Maybe someday. I could probably even get over smoking somebody's cast off Dunhill for the hundreds it would save me.

Kennerth, I'll gladly make room in my collection for even the most beat up old Dunhill. I like beautiful grain in a pipe. (I know it has no bearing on actual smoking properties) but thats a big part of pipe smoking/collecting for me. For a thousand bucks there is many stunning works of art out there that I would fork over the big money for before a white spot but I think this Dunhill really stands out from the usual classic shapes and colors and I would snap it up in a second if I had the green.

Absolutely! Everyone has their preferences; no judgement here... Smoke what you like, like what you smoke. 8)

Beautiful pipe, but the short stem will give it a harsher smoke than necessary.
