No marque has garnered as much attention over the decades as the Dunhill pipe. Starting in the early 1900s, Dunhill pipes, with their distinctive “White Spot” logo, have been a recognizeable symbol of smoking excellence continuously throughout their long history. The quality of the pipes is well known, but I suspect the major reason for the wide interest amongst more recent collectors is the simple fact that Dunhill, unlike most pipe makers, have, from the very early days, provided stamped coding that allows accurate dating of the individual pipe. | No marque has garnered as much attention over the decades as the Dunhill pipe.
