I think they used to be better. Now a lot of it is marketed towards the Asian labelwhores with all the logos and such-like a Burberry.

I like a lot of their leather accesories. Although i consider their things more "hip" than traditional.

Dunhill has nice colognes.

Don't smoke much these days, but I always wanted to try one of their pipes, usually regarded as the Rolls-Royce or Purdey of tobacco pipes. Never could rationalize spending the $$$ for one. I have been informed in these fora that the clothing and accessory Dunhill is now an entirely separate entity from the tobacco/pipe Dunhill although I think I recall seeing some Dunhill pipes for sale at the South Coast Dunhill shop a few years ago.

I must say that I like the, how to express it?  The 'feel' of Dunhill.  Thier stores and wares remind me of a proper gentleman's club.  No, not what some of you younger gents are thinking but a place for me to sit, talk and enjoy a fine cigar and a proper scotch.

I think some of their things are nice and some are not. I dont like the prices either, always a little out of reach. I suppose that's the sort of customer they aim for.

Does Dunhill actually make their pipes or are they outsourced?

I'm always surprised that Dunhill exists today because it seems as if they have a very thin presence (especially in America).

Dunhill has concessions in every major department store in Tokyo/Yokohama. They have a flagship shop in the Ginza that is tucked away on side street that is central yet still removed from the bustle. The Dunhill shop in the new Omotesando Hills lets you fondle the merchandise without troubling a salesperson to open a case.

I covet a great deal of Dunhill, but don't want to have to sell stock to buy the things I like.

Incroyable, does the Dunhill white dot mean the same thing as the Sheaffer white dot?
