Christmas Pipe 2009

The 2009 Christmas pipe continues the 5-year theme based on the main characters of the famous book ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens, which we initiated in 2006.

This being the 4th pipe in the series, it depicts one of the main characters of the story, THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

The main character for the coming year will be the Ghost of Christmas Future.

This year’s pipe is an elegant group 3 Billiard in Shell Briar finish. It features an elongated Sterling Silver army (military) mount inscribed “The Ghost of Christmas Present” giving the pipe an exceedingly elegant appearance. The solid Ghost of Christmas Present Pipe tamper is handcrafted from approximately 42 grams of finest English Sterling Silver.

The highly collectable Dunhill Christmas pipes and tampers are presented in a leather-bound book held in typical red & green Christmas colours with golden embossing in co-ordination with the previous books of this series and each set is accompanied by its numbered limited edition certificate.

This edition series is strictly limited to annually only 300 pipes worldwide. Markets will be allocated the same quantities and edition numbers as put down last year to facilitate collection of sets.

World-wide launch September 2009
