I'm not sure I understand your request. Do you mean where does it fit in that nonsensical Dunhill grouping system? I don't have the vaguest. Those Dunhill groupings are based on how large the initial block of wood was that the pipe is made from and is absolutely inane to what I look for in a pipe.

Greetings ladies and gents,

I just bought the pipe in the link below. Could anyone explain the grouping system used with Neerup/Jeppesen pipes? I'm not exactly sure which grouping this pipe is and I'd really be interested to know. Thanks a bunch!

That's a large group 3 or a small group 4.

The numeric designation on Neerups is a grade designation, I believe. They are all big and bigger sized, and due to their chunky danish semi-freehand nature, the Dunhill grouping size doesn't really apply. But I believe that you got a grade 5, based on grading the briar quality/aesthetics.

Thank you. So, is grade 1 the best quality then?
