Are Dunhill Pipes Even Worth It?
I Own 3 dunhills, and they smokes well, but aren't superior to any pipe all around.Barling and charatan from the golden era are usually better.If you want something better and maybe save some money Buy Ardor,Castello and many other Italian carver.If you like the english look at Ashton, Les wood...- pentangle

James Upshall P-ExL Estate/Refurb
Upshall company (mr Ezrati) probably needed money as selling pipes isn't easy nowadays, so now sells semi-estates and new od stock from his own site.At the start i'm sure it's a good idea and he's getting some money.But lately that could be a problem for the brand, a default could be rear the... -

Uphall are excellent pipes , i Have several of them.There's a lot of confusion about their prices as Mr Ezrati sells his pipes directly from his site.He sells estates of his brand 8O .Think nobody now will continue to buy JU pipes new in shops and probably no shop whould like to sell them in... -
Mario Grandi?
Ardor are of superior quality.Mario Grandi have a minor reputation here in italy than Rovera productions.His reputation is due mainly for the giant sizes.If You look a t Mario's big sizes on mid prices they're ok, but if you are looking at mario's top prices i think there are in italy much... -

My 1st Hack-a-bowl
Honestely i think it is a waste of time due tue the result.A stem will cost like an estate Grabow and the pipe obtained is for my taste orrible.Go for a Grabow instead and save time if not money
