What do you think of this design; DUNHILL DUKE BRUYERE (4144)

[thesmokindragon]

I was just thinking about carving a few briar/small flake pipes

like this one, with a Dragon's spin on it of course...perhaps

with some pop'in crazy grains ;-)

Cool looking.. funky shape.. not for me, but definitely cool concept :?

I'd like to see a smokin' dragon version

 

[irishsmoker]

I like it! I think it would be cooler with an all bamboo shank and a short stem!

 

[thesmokindragon]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly...I was thinking an MM Washington sized

bowl, grains-a-pop'in, 3/4" chamber diameter, black acrylic reed

shank and stem....I think if the grains are out-of-this world, the

design might be a hit....

 

[irishsmoker]

I'd but it!

 

[cigrmaster]

Not my cup of tea. I like more traditional shapes. I am amazed that it is a Dunhill, I never knew they made that kind of pipe.

 

[martiniman]

I've been lookin for a nice sitter/poker.
I wanna see it after the dragon puts the spin to it....

 

[shawn]

I like all kinds of pipes. I will be interested to see what you come up with.

I like that mini metal mount. Very cool if you could incorporate that feature into your next dragon. :puffpipe:

 

[85royals]

Yes let us see it when your done.. I think it would be great

 

[rigmedic1]

It sort of reminds me of the little Peterson Tankard that I have. The stem is a little awkward, but I like the bowl design.

 

[lonestar]

Its a very old style of pipe for sure. Originally the white shank would have been an albatross bone. I guess the albatross huggers put an end to that :mrgreen:

 

[barkar]

Hate it...not likely I will ever own a Dunhill (out of my price for sure) but if I did it sure wouldn't be anything but a traditional size and shape.
Maybe some day some one will gift me one or leave me one in their will....lol....I hope.

I love the bowl. I think the thin stem does not complement the strong masculinity of the straight sided bowl. The radius of the curve is fine, but I'd like to see the stem thicker and maybe shorter, then they would match aesthetically for me. The tiny connection of the stem to the bowl I hate, an extra bulbous end where it meets the bowl, like where the bit meets the stem might work. The pronounced spread of the bit is OK. Obviously the white is hideous. I also did not know Dunhill made funky pipes.

I guess I haven't seen everything! I'm with some of the comments here, surprised it's a Dunhill. I don't like it.

I'm with cigarmaster, too funky for this pipe smoker.
