Just got a new pipe a Parker Rhodesian. Just £25 not bad for a Dunhill Second. The only flaw that I can see is the sandblast on one side is not as good as the other but, I can live with that.

Dai, you know it's a funny thing, but for me anyway, there's something about a chunky sandblasted dark finish that I really like and admire. These are very attractive pipes. Yes, they are very comfortable to hold and seem cooler to the touch as well. I like also a nice bend so they are easy to clench as well with their nice wide stems.
Had I not found an authentic, Greek made classic fisherman's pipe, I was already attracted to, and would have purchased a Rhodesian much like yours...

Parker are Dunhill seconds but not having much experience with briar pipes I don't have anything to compare it to, so can't advise on this.
