Dunhill: Dress (4204) (2021) Tobacco Pipe

This "04" Bulldog by Dunhill is an iconic rendition of their shape-chart standard. The bowl's waistline is adorned with two tactile beadlines, and the rectangular shank contributes additional sharpness to the pipe. The vulcanite saddle stem joins to the stummel at a silver band, which gives a strip of style to the distinguished Dress finish.

One of the most fashionable finishes in all of pipe making and one that inspired an entire aesthetic, Dunhill's Dress finish was first introduced in 1973 as the Black Briar — renamed "Dress" in 1979 with the addition of silver — and is meant to elegantly complement a tuxedo or similar formal wear, perfect for a night on the town. Characterized by its glossy, jet-black stain and sterling silver accent band, the Dress finish exudes class and imbues each pipe it adorns with a sense of refinement and sophistication. It's the progenitor of the term "dress pipe," now used to reference any black-and-silver pipe, and is one of the most distinctive finishes in all of pipedom.
