Awesome post! As someone who stalks estate pipes on ebay this is a wonderful reference!

It took me a while to actually come around to liking Dunhill,

then I experienced a sudden shift of opinion and went into a full-fledged White Spot fever!
I'm not ashamed to admit that I am a Dunhill enthusiast.

Another awesome post Troy! :clap:
I fully recognize your words. It also took a while for me to like Dunhill. I was my believe that it was for snobs, and I hate snobs.. So I took a liking to Peterson, the working man's pipe. Until out of curiosity I bought a cheap Dunhill from a fellow forum member and I started to read about the Dunhill history, I love history And yes, I also have a lot to thank to John Loring. That Dunhill pipe smoked better than all my Petersons combined so I started buying more estate Dunhills (I will never buy a new one) which resulted in me getting rid off my small Peterson collection (still have a couple left but those are rarely smoked). In my opinion Dunhill has the best all-around pipes. Yes, some other pipes smoke drier, some taste better but all-around I like Dunhill best. And especially the pre-'68 ones.

I was really surprised to see some of the unconventional shapes in the catalog. I'd never have guessed that Dunhill did anything like the SSK, for example.

One went up on the block today...
WOW - Dunhill SSK Pipe - Rare - Probably 1954
I wonder if it will sell?
