England, 1998 The idea of using bamboo came from the WWII times when supply of briar to the United kingdom faced a really dramatical shortage and the English manufacturers looked for any possibility to use different materials if not for the complete pipe making, but at least to compensate for the deficit of briar. Competent…

England, 1988 This quite moderately smoked middle size and the highest grade Dunhill apple from the 1980s hardly needs any detailed explanations – the pipe speak for itself! Should smoke perfect with strong and medium mixtures. Highly recommended!

England, 1930-40s A very moderately smoked Hardcastle’s pipe of the very popular and collectable “Jack O’London” trade mark made yet in pre-Dunhill “family era” times. And very probably – before 1946 and possibly before the World War II. A middle size classical English biliard which can sit on the desk.

England, 1996 The pipe is relatively young in comparison to other pipes, which we offer. It was made in 1996 and has been quite moderately smoked, so it needed rather a refresh than a restoration. We would like also to draw your attention to the really comfortable size (the middle range Group size 4 is…
