Best Pipes for Christmas

Christmas lights are starting to brighten up the dark skies, and our hats and scarves are out for good; the festive period has officially begun! In this chilly weather there isn’t much we enjoy more than cosying up by the fire with our favourite pipe, so why not gift one to your loved ones?

You don’t have to worry about beating the Christmas rush, or what to buy, as we have compiled a list of the very best pipes for you to buy this festive season!

Dunhill White Spot Christmas Pipe 2020

For a classic Christmas:

If you’re seeking a Christmas-specific pipe, the limited edition Dunhill Christmas Pipes are the first place to look. Our favourite of these is the Dunhill White Spot Christmas Pipe 2020 – The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, which is part of the 12-year theme The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, which began in 2011 and will end in 2022. It is based on the characters of the children’s book The Nutcracker and the Mouse King and the famous ballet The Nutcracker.

The 2020 Pipe is the 10th in the series and depicts Prince Nikita, a main character in the story, sheltering Maria with his coat. This is a highly collectable pipe set, with only 300 pipes worldwide. It comes with a numbered limited edition certificate. 

Savinelli Tortuga Rustic Shape 626

For those who are just starting out:

With a rustic finish, classic full bent apple shape, with a shallower bowl to reduce the weight, the Savinelli Tortuga 626 is ideal for beginners and experienced smokers alike. Comfortable to hold, and with a longer curved stem to cool the smoke and reduce moisture, you’re in for an enjoyable experience.

The Savinelli Tortuga 626 also comes with an ash cap to contain ash and keep your pocket clean, as well as stop the pipe mid-smoke if you need. This pipe is relatively inexpensive, yet perfectly decent to use, making it an excellent choice for a Christmas gift. The small bore size also makes it the perfect pipe for people who do not regularly pick up the pipe.

Dunhill White Spot William Shakespeare Limited Edition Cumberland Pipe

For fans of Shakespeare:

Creating some of the most famous plays in history and forever changing the English language, it’s hard not to be a fan of William Shakespeare!

To celebrate the 450 year jubilee of Shakespeare’s birth, Dunhill White Spot have created a pipe to commemorate the playwright, which comes with a solid Sterling silver tamper shaped like a writing quill in an inkwell – similar to what he would have used to write his beloved plays. The Dunhill White Spot William Shakespeare Limited Edition Cumberland Pipe itself also features a metal band engraved with Shakespeare’s signature.

Hauser Bavarian Longpipe Bavarian Pipe

For those who love history:

Originating from the Solingen region of Germany, these porcelain pipes have been made in this fashion since the 1700s, acting as the main competitor to the clay pipes. Bavaria was responsible for tobacco imports at that time, and so the industry grew, making the region renowned for their tobacco products and pipes. The Hauser Bavarian Longpipe Bavarian Pipe would be an incredible addition to any pipe collection and may prove particularly interesting to those fascinated by the history behind pipe-smoking.

Dunhill White Spot Namiki Quail Billiard Pipe

For the collector:

For the pipe collector, the Dunhill White Spot Namiki Quail Billiard Pipe is a must. The detailing of the artwork on this Billiard Pipe is incredible, with each pipe handmade using the traditional Japanese art method of Hira Maki-e.

The pipe features the image of a quail, on a jet-black lacquered base, with a gold-plated accent. Only 100 of these pipes have been created, with this one being the 87th.
