Coincidence? I think not.

More people can sell a Dunhill pipe than own one. Which tells you something.

Someone asked about an unsmoked Taylor Ashton. One was just listed this morning and shows the stem issues that George D was describing. It will probably go $300 regardless. The stem on my new White Spot is much better than this fitment:

Excavated in a WWI battlefield near Vaux-sur-Somme France is the actual Dunhill that brought down the Red Baron.

I see Dunhill pipes as the vintage wine or champagne of the pipe world. There are people that swear there is nothing like smoking a Dunhill but like a $1,500 bottle of champagne my mouth just isn't advanced to tell the difference between a Dunhill and a Lane Era Charatan. Not going to knock the guys that can tell a difference but I just can't see spend the 500.00 on a Billiard or Pot shaped pipe. That's just my two cents.

Am I alone in seeing misdrilling on a high-end Dunhill? I know others have noted dot placement that was off.
Yes. Any perceived flaws are the fault of the observer.
