Quote from: TechnomancerPundit or other pipe aficionados who might know something about pipes in history, in a game I'm in I'm playing a snobby professor in the 1930s from a well-to-do family who disdains all but the finest things in life.  He is, among other things, a pipe-smoker.  What kind of pipe might he have been smoking back then?

Quote from: RPGPunditBy the 1930s Dunhill pipes were considered the finest pipes in the world, and had largely replaced meerschaum pipes as the hallmark of the "elite" pipe smoker. The Dunhills, who's trademark was the "white spot" (a little white dot on the stem) were quite expensive for the time (an add from that era that I once saw had them priced at about $17 each, in an era when a comic book cost ten cents), and made of only the finest quality briar.
