Zitat:
"Sometimes, it's just feels great returning to the classics. This Dunhill 3104 features the venerable company's usual yeoman's job of executing a straight bulldog, as well as the warm Cumberland stain and bit. Sized "right" for a Group 3, this would make a terrific pipe for a rich Virginia or latakia blend, and show more than a touch of style while doing it."

"The ever popular straight bulldog, executed with an interesting fore cant to the bowl, dressed in the ultra rich ruby of the Bruyere stain. The Bruyere, as it absorbs the oils from the smoke, changes its patina as the years go bye. Featuring a very decent amount of crosscut grain and birdseye, this is a great looking pipe now and, no doubt will be a beauty in the future.

Zitat:
"The Dunhill Shell Briar went into full-throttle production in 1917 and, not only was an immediate "hit", it still ranks as Dunhill's top selling finish. So why did Dunhill break out the Tanshell as a line some three and a half decades later? The Shell Briar is crafted from Algerian briar, an exemplary heath if one is looking for deep grooves/channels to result from blasting. Dunhill wanted to offer a sandblast line that presented a finer, more "surface" etching and turned to Sardinia for a more uniformly hard wood suitable for the task. Fun bit o' trivia: During the 60's and 70's Dunhill couldn't get its hands on Algerian briar and the blasts (lo' and behold!) became quite shallow. As always, the White Spot lads showed that they could think on their feet, and came up with a "double blast" method to make Shell Briars look like... well, Shell Briars once again. (Bear is now desperately seeking a way out of this tangent). The blast of the Tanshell in front of you is light, surface and the most prominent grain appears in vertical ripples on the fore and aft of the bowl (though some of the birdseye is awesome). We can't tie back the depth of blast to Algeria v. Sardinia any longer, haven't been able for years. Still, part of the fun of Dunhill is all of the history, lore, even myth that surrounds the iconic pipe in your hands.
