Dunhill Battle of Britain

[Mtn]

Has anyone ever seen the Battle of Britain commemorative set in person?

It looks like it was a limited edition, including a few goodies as well as a Spitfire engraved briar pipe and a tamper shaped like a propeller made from supercharger alloy.

A search on the ol’ google machine doesn’t bring up any for sale, only this link where one was sold on smoking pipes.

A fantastic set-

If someone wanted to make the investment, that is a good Dunhill to own, with the historical references. Anyone know the year this was issued? Maybe the 1980's? The Brits up up a mighty resistance against the German air force. What settled the matter was Hitler's miscalculation to invade Russia, which sacrificed millions in the defense of their homeland. Then England became a bridge too far.

They certainly put a lot of marketing into their work. I almost bought one of their Titanic pipes back in 2018 just because of the piece of wood from the Titanic in the tamper.

Had not seen the Titanic set. I like their historical link, probably like most pipers who see the hobby as a sort of legacy.

bluecollarpiper on YouTube has some great pipe culture and history spots.

the search continues for one of the 100 BoB sets…perhaps the “few”

Had not seen the Titanic set.

Have you seen the $3.5 million Eiffel Tower Dunhill?
