English Estates: Dunhill Shell Briar (6101) (2001) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-002-31789
Rendered in hearty Group 6 size, Dunhill's largest standard size designation, this "01" straight Apple is stunning in its shaping and classic appeal. From the robust, rounded bowl, with its capacious chamber to the continuing muscularity of the subtly tapering shank and stem, this is a remarkable piece that is, of course, well balanced and able to sit sturdily, thanks to its flattened underside. It's wearing the marque's dark Shell Briar sandblast, revealing quite pronounced growth rings all across the bowl.
The Shell Briar's addition to the Dunhill catalog was a pivotal moment in pipe-smoking history. Before 1917, pipes with sandblasted finishes had never been made, and Alfred Dunhill's innovative mind created arguably the most popular finish for pipes today when he unveiled the Shell Briar. With its dark, reserved color palette and delightful texture, it's no surprise that it's still wildly popular over a century later.
