Info About Dunhill's "Not For Sale" Pipes
I think it's disingenuous and dangerous to the community to promote myths, to twist bullshit into "possibility", and to obscure and obfuscate rather than search for truth and clarity. -
Info About Dunhill's "Not For Sale" Pipes
Yeah I know, you think you bought a Dunhill. You didn't. The White Spot is practically irrelevant, as it is commonly done and easily done. The details of the pipe construction (as made on Dunhill machinery) would tell a deeper story. But as George has attested and I will second, having... -

Is old Algerian Briar Superior?
Alfred Dunhill wrote of Algerian briar in "About Smoke" and he wasn't flattering: "Impressed by the beauty and richness of the grain, he experimented with the new briar, only to find that owing to its spongy qualities the results were disappointing. The unused blocks of root were consequently... -
Einsteins pipes to be sold...?
Nobody has bought these any of the times they've been listed would be my guess. Shill/proxy bidding to make it look like the price is high.- sasquatch

Info About Dunhill's "Not For Sale" Pipes
Vauen uses a white spot in Germany, has for ever and ever. White spot means nothing. I have drilled a few myself. There are a hundred tell-tale signs of a pipe made by Dunhill through the ages, the drilling, the button and slot work, the finish, other little technical details. The... -

A Carved Briarlee
Oval shank? My suspicion, given the one picture of the stem, is that it used to have just a little bend in it, and that would put the pipe in the zulu/yacht category.- sasquatch

Are You Getting An Even Black/Tar Buildup?
There's 2 kinds of cake, or maybe 25 kinds... but for sure you see pipes with big thick fluffly cake made from things like Carter Hall, it builds fast, it's fairly easily removed, and is touted to be protective of the briar. And there's "hard cake" and/or "shiny cake" which tends to be glassy...- sasquatch

I've never had an order stall, been lucky I guess, but I'm certainly hesitant at this point. It's one thing to be email silent when you are busy filling orders. It's another altogether to be silent and NOT filling orders.- sasquatch

Sorry, I'm confused, I thought we were talking about design, you are now talking about price. That's different shit. -

Is Premium Briar Different?
Try a step up in stem quality, jump from Tinsky (or Wiley) to Ryan Alden, Scottie Piersel, or as you mention, Scott Klein's handmades proper. What you'll see is only minor differences pipe to pipe in hand made stems (which Tinsky nor the Scott's Burners are). The stem in your link is getting... -

Is Premium Briar Different?
What a weird thing to say, my dude. In the first place, unless your standards are very, very weird, most carvers are probably quite capable of hitting them. Most American carvers work with an airway at 5/32" or very near that +-. Then the question is how open the stem is. Some guys hew a...
