So, I've been lusting after a straight billiard for weeks now, and finally decided to treat myself to one. Being in the UK, the vast majority of online tobacconists are a bit of a pain for me (or, very long delivery times, at least!), so I ordered from a UK based one.
One in particular (who shall remain nameless, as he isn't a site sponsor) stocks Barber B-Line pipes, which are allegedly Dunhill seconds. It's not official from the tobacconist, but research online seems to point that way. Dunhill second bowls with acrylic stems.
This one has a small nick or chip where the draft hole enters the bowl, which could be the reason.
Here's a quick couple of pics (more in the link):

It sure is a big bugger - I'm not familiar with Dunhill group sizes, but it must be a group four or five. This thing is a monster! I normally have to squash a MacB flake to get it to fit, but this swallowed it whole and came back wanting another.
First smoke was outstanding. Far better than either of my Petersons, which cost damn near twice as much.
