"In some of its catalogs in the sixties and seventies, Dunhill did some promoting of the "DriWay". Essentially its an embedded clay filter that was referred to as "Kaoloid". The DriWay was only utilized in the Shell Briar series. If you collect Dunhill "Gadget" pipes, this would be a great novelty to consider. It's amazing that the briar cap screws off and the ceramic filter is in fine shape. | "In some of its catalogs in the sixties and seventies, Dunhill did some promoting of the "DriWay".

The disc is pushed through the bowl with a rotary motion removing in one action the ashes and the surplus carbon. The result is an eminently dry and cool-smoking pipe.[[File:Aspas.png|40px]]</font> Nick Foulkes <ref name=dbd>Foulkes, Nick (2005). Dunhill by Design: A Very English Story (p. 75).
