Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

[lukasstrifeson]

The great irony is: all it really has is its name but its name wants nothing to do with it.

(OK, to be fair and balanced, Dunhill do still make some pretty handsome classic shapes. I have a couple of bulldogs, billiards, etc but I'd still say ~50% of its MSRP is the "Dunhill" name... Their customer service is top rate though).

Wow these are some seriously wonderful pipes. I actually don’t own a dunhill maybe too high of a price for my budget.

I used to think this way, but then I realized that excellent estate Dunhills can be bought for around $150 (Marty Pulver’s Prior Briar and Mkelaw Pipes are two websites you can start looking at). I also started thinking about how my average pipe purchase was around $100. Buying a Dunhill was not too far off. If you want a new one, a group 3 Shell Briar will go for around $260 on Al Pascia.

Lucky You the outside of EU residents ,the sales tax is deducted whereas the very same group 3 shell will set us back for $ 320, at A Pascia,but their service is outstanding and products too,

Picked up my Grandfather's pipe around 1987, been smoking a pipe (with varied levels of intensity) ever since. This is my first Dunhill ever, a 6103 Shell Briar, just arrived today from PipeStud

Now all I have to do is what for it to arrive all the way from merry old England...

Interesting looking pipe! I like the shank and the button on the stem. It looks like it will very comfortable to sit and smoke.

Enjoy!

I've been eyeing that beautiful since it was originally listed for $2500 ?

Last I saw it was bidding for $150, hope you got it for a reasonable price!

A bit more than $150 but significantly less than $2500. ? It was at $202.50 when I placed my bid.

Given the price was changing by weird amounts I'm assuming a foreign bidder was after it. It looked like I might get it for a very low price but I think it was just the way the bids update based on max bid amounts since it almost doubled shortly after I placed my bid. Whoever was bidding against me would probably be pissed to know my winning bid was below my max bid amount by only $4.87. Had they gone just a bit higher they would've gotten it.

Recently won pre-PerUlf S. Bang with a similar finesse.

It's a interesting point you bring up about foreign currencies, I definitely also noticed weird increments in bidding as well.

Here's my Dunhill black blast spigot. I call it my bling pipe.

I love that type of spigot-bulldog combination. Awesome!

Dunhill pipes bought from the Dunhill flagship store in Jermyn Street / corner of Duke Street, W1 between 1972 - 1988 . . . always most obliging in letting me rummage through their "odd-shapes" drawers in my search for something a bit different.
Receipts I still have show the prices in for example 1978 for Group 1 @£27.15, Group 2 @£34.75 and Group 3 @£43.90 in SHELL and Groups 1 - 3 @£30, £41.30, £54.35 respectively in ROOT BRIAR and BRUYERE.


Those were the days when you could buy a 100g tin of NIGHTCAP for £5.68.
I know what pipe tobacco costs today but I dread to look up what a Dunhill pipe costs nowadays.

 

[jpmcwjr]

HOLY SMOKES!! Now that is a collection! Good on ya!

Here's the replacement pipe for one given to me a long time ago, which I lost.

This is really incredible. Wow! Is that a Shell Cavalier on the top row? That is a bucket list pipe of mine. Amazing collection

 

[donjgiles]

Looks like a Shell and a Root Briar Cavalier up on the top shelf!
I would like to see the canted cutty on the third shelf down.

[burleyboy]

Very well done, sir! I’m still waiting for a Dunhill panelled pipe to fit my expectations and budget at the right moment.
