    Thanks Tab,

    1962 EC. Group 4 Bruyere. For those who aren't familiar with Dunhill nomenclature, little '2' is added to 1960 for the year, 4 in circle is the group, "A" is Bruyere.

    I used to know what "EC" actually stood for but it was used on pipes with longer shanks than normally found in their groups range (and thus more desirable). The bowl was made with a single chuck replicator that Dunhill did better than anyone (similar to 1930s Sasieni). Don't know the names of the craftsmen who did the single chucks but these guys could orient the block (in the chuck) to bring out the most grain and best part of the wood. I assume that Frank Lincoln and Ken Lowe did some of these and perhaps Bernie Knighton too but Bill Taylor was probably too young to have done much with the single chucks.

    Bit work is periodic, flatter bite with somewhat less refined button. Excellent shoulder as noted before. While technically a machine made bowl, the single chucks were the best machined bowls I've encountered. Since the blocks were initially phrased in the cutting mills many single chucks feature cross grains on the outer and inner spines (front/back of the bowls and up the top and bottom of the shank. How does it smoke?

    Pete,

    Thanks for the information about the pipe!
    It smokes great! Doesn't have much of a cake to speak of, but smokes cool nonetheless. I had Mike give it the ozone treatment when he had it in for the repair; it was only a couple of dollars more.
    Right now I'm smoking some Gawith & Hoggarth Sweet Rum Twist in a Charatan second.

    It's a frigid 8 degrees right now, so my traditional Christmas eve pipe is going to have to be a little cob tonight filled with Star Of The East.

    Soon I'll play Santa and off to sleep.

    Merry Christmas eve friends.

    Me and Luca are breaking in the Mr Brog Churchwarden gift from the kids with some H&H eggnog. Probably going to be cut short though, we're currently in an extreme cold warning with wind chill/ feel like temps in the -40c to -45c range. Don't want this thing to heat up too much.

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    I opened s tin of 3 yo Dunhill Flake yesterday. Now puffing that in my newish Luciano squat bulldog. First time these two have met. They're playing together very nicely.

    Glad that my classical music stations are back to regular programming. A Mozart Divertimento right now.
