1943 ODA RB Dunhill My Birth Year

[tbradsim1]

Finally found it, smokeing pipes had it for only a few hrs and I happened to spy it, jumped on it right away, smokeing EMP, thought I was going to have to retort it, but it was so clean I loaded it up. Kudos to Smokeingpipes.com. The old cajun

I love the grain, congratulations! One day I to will find an “affordable” Dunhill and join those in the white dot mafia.

Those ODA Dunnies are the business, enjoy her!

Very nice Bradley! Congratulations on your birth year Dunhill my friend. :clap:

 

[flmason]

Congratulations on finding your birth year Dunhill. I have one also for my year as well. They take awhile to find but is is so special when the task is completed.

Great news pal, its something every piper should have!

 

[tbradsim1]

Thanks everyone, smoked some EMP Bulk and it was as good as the tin, pipe was a very smooth smoke smoother than I am at 70 LOL. The old cajun

That is a beautiful birth year Dunhill, and an ODA Billiard to boot, my favorite shape and size. Big congrats to you Bradley!

 

[docwatson]

That's a treasure with some history about it. Congrats on an incredible ODA.

Nice pipe. Enjoy!

Good for you Brad. Happy you finally attained your prize. I'm still looking for 1962. I can get any year it seems for around 225 but that 62 goes for way more than I want to spend. One day though I will.

Very nice looking pipe, good find!

 

[tjameson]

Very cool Bradley! I think it'll be slightly easier to find a 1987 compared to your 1943. I've seen a 1986 for a good price close but no smoke. I've always wondered though, what does ODA stand for?

 

[tbradsim1]

TJ there are two schools of thought on that, some say Oversized Dunhill, other school of thought was you could order what size you wanted and it was Own Design with the letter designating grade. The old cajun

 

[tjameson]

Thanks for the info Bradley and Roth, I always thought it referred to an oversized but that is interesting to know about the "Own Design" designation. I think Dunhills are amazing due to the history behind them. Some day I will own one or many.

Congratulations Bradley. It's funny, you just mentioned that you were looking the other day

and here it is! That's great.... I know you'll enjoy it.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Bradley that is a stunner. Both you and the pipe are looking pretty good for 70. I hope you both smoke long and well.

 

[oldredbeard]

A very beautiful Dunnie, it is also my favorite shape. Congrats Brad.

Congrats on that acquisition! Beautiful Dunhill. There is something about owning a Dunhill. The history, the feel, I'm not sure, but it does feel great, doesn't it?
Enjoy
