Tom, I'm with you on the attractiveness of the pipe, but I have to bend to Foggy's knowledge of the brand--far, far superior to mine, and I'm certain to a great many of us. If he says the pipe is overpriced, that's something you can take to the bank. (Or rob the bank,to pay for the darn thing.). BTW Foggy, what would you price that pipe at?
Now here's an observation--I have 6 Dunhills, and they're all good smokers, but if the truth be known, they're certainly not my best, and I've got quite a few far less expensive pipes that smoke way better. Just my 2c worth.
