Crazy cool blast on that Dunny! I don’t see many like that.
Thank You Brother Ben,
I was thrilled to find it. It’s an 85 and was unsmoked in the box still when I acquired it. Same year I started dabbling with pipes. Makes me feel old
Killer ! I can’t get over the accent tones and the blast
It does sport some different blasting, Is it just me butI think dunhills from the 70s and 80s look the bestThank You Brother Ben,

From my understanding the 70’s were the least desirable era for blasts however I have several from then that are just wonderful. For me it is just like any other time for them even now and that is you have to be able to pick the one that stands out.
The Patent eras seem to be the ones that consistently stand out and I’d assume it’s from briar selection and pride in workmanship over sales at the time. I don’t own any Patent era pipes as of yet but that’s not from a lack of looking. @JimInks posts up some examples that are just spectacular like his 1924 Pot and LB’s This 80’s model 5103 popped up while looking for my elusive LB so it was just pure luck at the time.
I was tempted, but nope, I just bought the bones.
Steamworks in the bent Iafisco w/ silver this morning. Catching up on some reading before work. I can tell already it’s going to be a lazy weekend.
Stanislaw Irish Spring Flake smokes quite comfortably even in smaller pipes — currently trying it in a Nording Compass, and it goes smooth and well-balanced.
Having Uhles Blend 44 in a Grabow with coffee this morning. 
Cowboy coffee in this lovely little bamboo-shanked C-Pipe princess to start my day. Coffee black on the side. Have a great day, everyone!
2018 Escudo in a 2019 Dunhill "Year of the Pig" 4103 shell briar.
Took work outside this morning, trying to finish up my Security+ certification renewal by next month, renewal is required every 3 years and is a total PIA! At least I can do the reading outside on my tablet with my pipe. 
More Brothers In Arms in a Herbaugh spigot pot with antique Bakelite stem.

C&D Exclusive in a Dunhill 4103 Whangee and the last of the coffee 
️ Just finished filling up all the gas cans for the lawn equipment. Remember when you could fill a 5 gal can for under $4.00 WTF ? I do and I just filled 10 and it wasn’t for that amount

I agree theres gems in all sorts of pipes from certain eras and makers, and the account that I often look at things differently
@PaulRVA looking at the post today may need to be called Dunhill Friday
