Dunhill Shell Briar (6107) (2025) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe

This full-bodied, thick-walled Dunhill Apple is rendered in Group 6 proportions, lending it a hearty presence in hand and in profile. The stout bowl perches at the fore of an arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement, whose protracted length offers plenty of space to comfortably drape a digit. Dressed in Dunhill's Shell Briar finish, this piece is quite elegant with just a touch of ruggedness. Adding an extra layer of appeal, the design is complete with a removable metal stinger.

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.
