Christmas Pipe 2010

The 2010 Christmas pipe finalises 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 5th pipe in the series, it depicts another of the main characters of the story, THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS FUTURE.

This year’s pipe is a very elegant group 4 Bulldog in County finish with slightly forward leaning bowl and tapered stem. It features a square Sterling Silver Spigot mount inscribed “The Ghost of Christmas Future” giving the pipe an exceedingly contemporary appearance. The solid Ghost of Christmas Future Pipe tamper is hand-crafted from approximately 35 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 2010

FEATURES BENEFITS

Subject ‘A Christmas Carol’ Popular and well-known Christmas story by Charles Dickens.

Bulldog shape Elegant execution of our most popular British shape with forward leaning head and tapered stem.

County finish Light-brown sandblasted finish with smoother surface compared to standard sandblasted pipes - Alfred Dunhill invented the sandblasted pipe in 1917 - Sandblasting the pipe substantially enlarges its surface; thus, the pipe becomes lighter and smokes cooler than a smooth pipe

Cumberland mouthpiece Traditional taper mouthpiece individually cut, shaped, finished and fitted from marbled, rough rod Cumberland.

Size Gr. 4 – medium to large size

Sterling Silver Spigot Mount Sterling Silver – 92.5% pure Silver - Engraved with “The Ghost of Christmas Future”. - ‘Spigot’ mount gives the pipe stem increased robustness. - Square spigots are more difficult and costly to manufacture than round Spigots
