They use it instead of toilet paper.
It's not true. I just made that up.
I think that’s called a bidet. That lttle bum-cleaning bowl. It looks like a toilet for midgets.  |

I'm never so quick to judge on marital affairs. Sometimes the one everyone thinks was run out on was actually the problem, but who knows, that's why I leave that sort of thing to the Dunhills. I think the whole reason we had Dunhill tobaccos around for so long is because Richard WAS a pipesmoker and wanted the legacy to continue in some way. The good news is I just checked out the new Dunhill pipes and they still have the name Alfred Dunhill on them. That part of the license wasn't excluded. Do you know who actually makes Dunhill pipes? I reckon if they put their own name on them they'd be a lot cheaper.... |

BBB back in the early '20s made stumels for them and they were then finished by Dunhill .  |

I don't even remember that thread but my answer based on probably 7 year old information from the Dunhill historian at CPCC before he was laid off was confirmed by the new US agent on Country Squire Radio a few weeks ago. Guys project their notions on Dunhill (and the hobby) One of the guys I'll be hanging out with this weekend is in his 80's and one of last of of the first generation of big time collectors. Guys who started this hobby by traveling across the country to meet up with other collectors in hotels to swap pipes. This guy has/had hundreds of mint condition Dunhills and other English first bulldog pipes. I strongly disagree with him but his notion is that Dunhill never made a good pipe after 1953.  |

My personal opinion, Dunhill has not made a superb smoking pipe since 1968. Enjoy your weekend with a bunch of knowledgeable pipe collectors/smokers👍👍👍 |

It was always my understanding that thesedays the bowls are bought in France and Italy and then they're shaped and finished in London. They wanted to make them cheaper and that's how. Maybe it's done differently now. I don't know.

You may fish...but I won't bite.  Good man! I love McClelland (Virginias and Grand Orientals) and Dunhill (everything I've tried), but in the long run I've smoked more Dunhill. I hate to see them go and hope that they'll be back ... again. The Orlik versions are the only ones I've smoked ... and they're wonderful! Hopefully, they'll continue to make them in the future. In the meantime, I'm stocking up for the tobaccogedon. I was going through my tins of McClelland this weekend and mourning the fact that what I have is all I've ever have. Never ventured much into Dunhill, but can understand the loss some will feel. |
