Capn Jimbo's Rum Project Forum

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.

Enjoy, lovely and rugged, reminds me of my Greek fisherman's pipe...

Love your Rhodesian, what do you think of it?

Good so far only had two bowls out of it. I love the shape feels nice in the hand, very comfortable to hold. As for smoking ok but it's not broken in yet so the verdict on that is still to come. Like all pipes there needs to slight adjustment in technique from pipe to pipe.

Nice Greek fisherman.

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...

Here is where I got mine from. $39 in your money plus p&p

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.

Thanks Dai...[/b]
