<blockquote><q>Among Alfred Dunhill's greatest contributions to pipemaking is classic shaping. For those who appreciate traditional shapes in their most traditional forms, Dunhill's famous White Spot pipes are the gold standard, and rightfully so. For a true Billiard shape, look to the White Spot. For a Lovat, Lumberman, Canadian, Dublin, or virtually any traditional shape, look to the White Spot for correct and accepted proportions, curves, tapers, transitions, rims, and every other element of a shape that can be easily rendered into something else if even one detail is miscalculated.</q> Chuck Stanion<ref name=spd>Chuck Stanion.

Currently 35 shapes. Occasionally a piece of briar is just asking to be carved into a different shape. | Currently 35 shapes. Occasionally a piece of briar is just asking to be carved into a different shape. | ||
