Zitat: "For the first time ever in the Smokingpipes.com Dunhill lineup, we take the pleasure of placing a Chestnut 5120 into the Dunhill inventory. Many consider the cherrywood to be one of the most bucolic of shapes. Having said that, when I look at this handsome Group "5" pipe, I don't see bucolic, I see elegance. The Dunhill shaping pretty much forgoes the organic in favor of a regular cylinder of a bowl, and a conservative juxtaposition of the shank to the former. The addition of the old school richness of the Chestnut stain imbues the form with such a West End Gentleman's Club decor sensibility, that it almost has me nodding to an unseen attendant to fetch me "my usual", and settling back into a well worn leather chair. Sadly, I am, to use the term originated by Dr. Samuel Johnson, an "Unclubbable" man, and will have to settle for a wander into the employee kitchen for some coffee. Still, I shall do so with this pipe in my hand, and refer to anyone that I pass as either "My good man", or "My dear girl". Something that will, no doubt, be mentioned in the next staff meeting.
