The pipe is the best companion.

At the end of last year, when Hellenism, the pipe tobacco that Mr. Shimaji had been smoking for many years, became available, we also received a shipment of vintage Dunhill pipes. We received about 50 pipes, and due to their popularity, nearly half of them were purchased by our pipe-loving customers. The year of manufacture is clearly known for most of them, and some of the oldest date back to 1944. You might even find a pipe from your birth year!


Shimaji: "Please smoke my original Hellenism mixture in a Dunhill pipe. You'll have a truly elegant moment."
Along with Dunhill pipes, the Hellenism pipes we introduced last time have also been very well received.
Shimaji : "When I'm reading a novel or something while smoking a pipe alone, images start to form in my mind. The pipe becomes a walking stick to support that process. And it also becomes a wonderful companion that keeps me from feeling lonely even when I'm alone."
"The pipe that smokes the smoke of culture is a walking stick for a stroll through the mind."

This, like our pipe and Hellenism blends, is also very popular. Why not enjoy it slowly while smoking a pipe?
