Dunhill: Cumberland (4103F) (2021) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

One of Dunhill's rarer iterations of their "03" Billiard, this Group 4 offering has been drilled to accommodate a 9mm filter. It maintains the iconic form's traditional proportions and stolid presence, with perhaps a touch of added muscularity to the shank to house the filter. An archetypal rendition shape-wise, this is the perfect pipe for those drawn to Dunhill's prestige and shaping style but who also prefer filtered pipes.

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."
