They were good enough for Dunhill to steal shapes from, so no surprise here.
No kidding? Which shapes did Dunhill gank from them?
I’ve always just been impressed with their great construction for the price point, and I like no bowl coating. Most of their briar, as far as grain, is just ok, but every odd pipe they make has some really great grain. Part of why I started the thread, and as you can see from many of the guesses. I do also like how their shapes are often clearly classic inspired, but have their own flavor.
Also just cool variety, horn stem shit, meer lined shit, briar stemmed shit, the occasional spigot. And all for quite a good price.
after owning a few I’m honestly surprised there isn’t more appreciation out there for them. I find them to be a great value.
