Dunhill: Dress (2105) (2022) Tobacco Pipe

Seen here in petite Group 2 proportions, this Dunhill "05" Dublin is a traditional, straightforward take on the pipe chart standard. This undeniably classic rendition features a poised bowl that immediately catches the attention of anyone who lays eyes on it, and rightfully so, as the supple flare to its walls and the sleek nature of the shank and tapered stem places it at the forefront of attention. Here we find it dressed in the Marque's timeless and iconic Dress finish, covering the stummel in a jet-black stain that's delightfully contrasted by an elegant band of silver at the junction.

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.
