I have a full box of these Dunhill Dri-Pipe Tubes. I am not sure where I picked them up but I was going through some stuff in the drawer today and came across this piece of pipe history. Anyone have any ideas on the time frame for these? The box says: “This absorbent tube is designed to provide a clean dry smoke. It is ideal for wet smokers and should be changed frequently.” The box has 100 tubes in it. It is marked Alfred Dunhill Ltd. 30 Duke Street, St. James’s, London, S.W.1. I love old stuff like this and I am always keeping an eye for it. I believe these were to be inserted kind of like the more modern 9MM or 6MM filters or even the Medico or Dr. Grabow filters. I figured I would post them on the blog to see if anyone has seen them or has information on them. Just another interesting piece of tobacciana
