Ruby Bark (4128) (2007) Tobacco Pipe

While not out-and-out rare, the "28" is one of the less commonly-seen shapes from Dunhill. This is to be expected, though, as it is a Diplomat shape - the less-common, oval-shanked variant of the Author, which is itself a shape that you don't see all that much of these days, with only a few marques producing it with any real regularity. Though broad of bowl, chamber, transition, shank, and stem alike, it flows smoothly in profile, creating an impression that I would liken to being a more muscular cousin or sibling of the Prince.
