In our ongoing series of "reprints" from PipeSMOKE Magazine, for September we have an article about one of my favorite pipe brands; Dunhill. This article was originally published in the fall of 1997 when there was still a member of the Dunhill family in charge of the company.
However, there are three things I find more interesting about this article. 1) About the 14th paragraph down, which starts with; "The end of the shank is then mortised" ... how they describe the gap and benefit thereof, 2) the prices quoted seem rather high, especially for 17-years ago, and even for today, and 3) the very last line, which is a quote from Richard Dunhill. I think that many pipe hobbyists would consider that thought sacrilege.
