Dunhill Tobacco Pipes

-

 

It is a goal of most every pipe smoker to own at least one Dunhill tobacco pipe.  Dunhill is a British pipe manufacturer since Alfred Dunhill first opened his pipe shop in London in 1907.  I read that Dunhill is no longer making pipes but they changed in 2017.  But they are now called Dunhill White Spot pipes.  They were big in tobaccos, but have since given most of their names and tobaccos over to Peterson which now makes their tobacco blends.

But Dunhill has been the luxury standard in England since their founding in 1907.  Dunhill was big in having their own cigarettes.  But now the Dunhill company isn’t quite what it used to be, but they have always put a white dot on the stem of each of their pipes to signify that the white dot meant Dunhill.  

Dunhill became synonymous with what used to be the most luxury of all tobacco pipes.  They used only the best, the hardest, and the most aged of briar in the manufacturing of each pipe.  And each pipe is made by hand to the Dunhill perfect specifications.  This is why Dunhill pipes are among the most expensive the world over.  

I have written a lot about my own Dunhill given to me from my family as a Christmas gift a year ago this past Christmas.  Brand new this pipe cost about $1200US.  But it was a used estate price and my family got it for about a fourth of the original price.  This pipe is by far my very best pipe.  This is a pipe I could proudly show off anywhere I would choose to smoke it.  

If I take good care of this pipe it will only increase in value as it ages.  My guess about this pipe is that it was made in the early 2000’s and is not quite a vintage pipe.  The style of the bowl is called Rhodesian.  The pipe is slightly bent and might be more of an Author pipe.   It is the best and most expensive pipe I own.  I hope you appreciate it as much as I do.  My pipe this morning is my Peterson System pipe with some Autumn Evening pipe tobacco.  My coffee this morning is Stumptown Holler Mountain coffee.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
