All 1955's.
Starting at 11 o'clock and going CW

1. Bruyere LB F/T
2. Shell LB
3. Shell 60F/T Grp. 4
4. Root EK Grp. 4
5. Shell 126 Grp. 3
6. Tanshell 59 Grp. 4
7. Tanshell W60 Grp. 4

I became obsessed with finding a 1955, took about 2 years to find the first but then they just kept coming. Probably had another 7 or so but sold them over the years..

Rob, that's one of the most impressive birth year collections I've ever seen. Do you smoke them at special times or are they just in the rotation with others?

Truth be told I don't smoke much anymore, I just enjoy collecting. I'll smoke any one of them from time to time, I don't have a set rotation.

I've been drastically pairing down my collection to fund my fishing boat and a house renovation.

I like the priorities! Where's your boat?

Root Briar 41011 1977

Acquired in July this year, but I didn’t feel comfortable firing her up until November. I guess I didn’t feel my smoking chops were up to the task until recently. Whether it’s the marketing or actual Dunnie magic, she smokes beautifully, and I enjoy her thoroughly every time.

That's a beautiful grain pattern, for certain. I know you are proud to have this. Enjoy...........

My 1st birth-year Dunhill was a 1961 120 Shell. Great pipe, but outside of my size perference.

Then, I found this 1961 Shell shape 56, which is significantly smaller.

Dunhill 120 is on my wishlist. Nice Pipe!!
