I don't know about Dunhill, but I had a Chevy Cavalier in college and that thing left a trail of smoke like nobody's business.
First Dunhill is thinking about dropping the name from their pipes and now this thing? I'm wondering if someone over there has lost his mind. Anyone remember the Cadillac Cimarron? It nearly destroyed that marque.
I've like the look of Cavalier's, I agree tho that one particularly doesn't speak to me...I have yet to try one as I haven't found one in my price range.
I was actually trying to find a good cav just to have in the stable & see how it smokes, but I ain't got one yet.
That Dunhill shape was designed in 1956, I almost won a Parker version, but no dice.
One of the better reference pages I found about the Cavalier shape was this:

...you can use googtrans for the French to get a rough idea, and some gems of machine mistranslation along the way like this:
"Dare to express negative criticism against his majesty Dunhill: the junction between the bowl and the stem is particularly sloppy blowjob for this model."

GBD made an interesting Cavalier style pipe, I've missed a few on Ebay. I find this design, with the screw off briar bottom to be far more appealing than the Duhill versions. The Dunhill does have a big of steam punk to it, but overall, I'm not a big fan.
Intersesting gerritjan. How do they smoke compared to a standard pipe? Post some pix of your pipes if possible.
Well, I like the style, which shouldn't be too surprising since I also like Falcons, Vikings and Kirstens. :lol:
