English Estates: Dunhill Cumberland (5111) (1986) Tobacco Pipe

A Group 5 rendition of the English marque's "11" Lovat, this piece boasts robust proportions through the elongated shank, and displays the handsome shaping that has helped make Dunhill the recognized, revered, and collected brand it is today. For those interested in larger iterations of the brand's iconic shapes, this is a must-have, especially as this Group 5 designation and shape combination is considerably rare among Dunhill's portfolio, compared to Group 3 and 4 renditions.

When Alfred Dunhill released his patented Shell Briar, he forever changed the pipe-smoking world at large. Dunhill has often been credited with being the first to offer sandblasted pipes (arguably the most popular finish today), and the Cumberland finish further displayed Dunhill's innovative spirit. Well received after its release in 1979, the Cumberland series was named for the English marque's warehouse on Cumberland road, and the line's signature, brindled vulcanite stem became so iconic, the warmly striated material is now referred to simply as "cumberland."
