Amber Root (2434) (2008) Tobacco Pipe

According to the Dunhill shape chart, the 34 brandy is only available in a Group 5. Clearly, the venerable London company is quite firm on this matter (roughly four out of five Dunhill brandies that we have received have belonged to Group 4). Here we have it in an absolutely smashing Group 2 Amber Root, that was outfitted with a dashing, elongated bit of subtle bend. Nowadays, when I run across Dunhill pipes that stray from absolutes, Bill Murray's character of Dr. Peter Venkman of Ghostbusters fame, comes to mind; "I make it a rule never to get involved with possessed people." (Sigourney Weaver's character continues to make amorous advancements) "Actually, it's more of a guideline than a rule."
