Dunhill: Cumberland Quaint Acorn (3) (2021) Tobacco Pipe

Dunhill's Quaint series is composed of shapes that fall beyond the English marque's standard chart, showcasing a more playful aesthetic. This Group 3 Acorn is a sleek design that places a pert, curvaceous bowl atop a sloping heel at the fore of a lengthy oval shank and comfortably bent vulcanite stem. Dressed in the Cumberland finish, the stummel offers plenty of crisp texture for the fingers to explore.

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."
