English Estates: Dunhill Shell Briar (4224) (2013) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-002-33463
This Panel or Foursquare brings to mind pipe designs of the revered, old-school English marques, for whom Alfred Dunhill could have served as chancellor. A perfect Sitter, with its firm heel and squared shank, this rendition showcases the legendary Shell Briar's craggy sandblast and rustic, dark stain.
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.
