Cumberland (5212) (2002) Tobacco Pipe

Dunhill's shapes, while often being the de facto base for most any shape chart, also tend to be pretty conservative in emphasizing the attributes that usually define a shape. Think of the truncated shank on most of the 110 liverpools of the "almost a brandy, almost a billiard" approach to their 34 brandies. Well, this is one shape, the 12 chimney, that Dunhill defiantly executes as a stack! What better pipe when you have the time to relax and enjoy a long bowl. And what better pipe than a Dunhill Cumberland "5212" to look good while doing it? The grain on the front of the bowl is superlative, and what's not to love about a cumberland saddle bit?
