Dunhill White Spot Chinese Zodiac Collectors Pieces: In Chinese astrology, there are twelve animals representing twelve different types of characters or personalities. The Zodiac animals are, in successive order, the rat (or mouse), ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep (or ram or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Dunhill have commissioned the Zodiac collectors series inspired by the signs of the Zodiac.

Dunhill White Spot Zodiac year of the Rat Shell Briar: Specially manufactured to celebrate the 1st year of the 12-year cycle in the Chinese calendar, the limited edition pipes Year of the Rat are the first in a series of pipes that represent the Chinese Zodiac signs. This year’s pipe is a classic Prince shape in Group 3 (3407) in Cumberland and Shell Briar finishes with a hand-cut marbled Cumberland and Vulcanite tapered mouthpiece that bear the famous White Spot. Each pipe is fitted with a 10mm Sterling Silver band engraved with the zodiac sign of a rat and is supplied with a specially manufactured soft leather case, which is not available otherwise. This edition is nominally limited to only 218 pieces worldwide in the Shell Briar finish and 218 pieces in the black Shell Briar finish. Since all numbers containing the digit ‘4’ have been excluded (‘4’ stands for death in various Asian countries), there are actually only 179 pipes per finish being manufactured, of which only 178 pieces will be offered for sale. The edition number ‘1’ will be kept in the White Spot archive.

ONE OFF PIPE: This is a one off pipe and the pipe in the picture is the exact pipe you will receive. Please not that colour varies depending on your computer monitor and may not replicate the colour exactly.
