English Estates: Dunhill Cumberland (42041) (1982) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

Though Dunhill now designates their shapes with a four-digit number system, the English marque utilized five digits between the mid-1970s and early '80s. The first four numbers remained true to the current shape chart; however, the fifth denoted a certain, unnamed variation of the shape. This "42041" from 1982 represents the marque's classic "04" straight Bulldog rendered in Group 4 proportions, denoted by the 4 at the beginning of the shape code. The following 2 refers to the stem, which is a saddle in this case with the middle two digits indicating it's an "04" shape. This unsmoked rendition is handsomely dressed in the crisp sandblast of this Cumberland finish and is further commended by the complementary hues of the brindled, vulcanite mouthpiece.
