When I worked at Davidoff, we sold pipes and I became curious about them.
Made a cool friend who had the coolest Dunhill pipe and I credit him with getting me into it. It was a Prince with a Sterling military mount.
Eventually, I had a job at Nat Sherman, and became their in-store pipe expert.
As I accumulated pipes over the years, my buddy, Nelson, decided he was moving to Florida and he left me a claim ticket to pick up his cleaned/serviced Dunhill pipe from the shop he left ot at.
He knew I always loved that one particular pipe , and today Iβm still grateful I have it ππ»
