Dunhill: Cumberland (3208) (2018) Tobacco Pipe

A meaty, Rhodesian-shaped rendition of Dunhill's "08," this pipe packs significant muscle into a small package. Despite the inclusion of a substantial cumberland saddle stem, this Group 3 pipe measures less than five inches in length. However, the cylindrical shank and the bowl's wide waistline, absent of beadlines, give this pipe some powerful dimensions, which are dressed in Dunhill's Cumberland finish.

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."
