Dunhill: Shell Briar Stubby (4107F) (2017) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 002-015-6962
Dunhill's "07" is typically a graceful Prince shape. However, the seldom produced Stubby variant of the "07" is a muscular straight Apple. The stout bowl presents a plump taper from the bulging waistline to the broad rim, and feels reassuringly robust in hand. Out back, the thick shank possesses a flattened underside, which extends subtly onto the bowl and stem base, making this piece a resolute Sitter. The light weight and compact form ensure that the sleek vulcanite stem can be clenched comfortably, while it's jet-black coloration complements the Shell Briar finish on the stummel.
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.
