Dunhill: Chestnut (4212) (2023) Tobacco Pipe

This "4212" from English marque Dunhill is a sleek-lined and lightweight Stack, with a tall, deep-chambered bowl paired to a rounded shank and a sleek saddle stem that places further attention on the presence of the bowl. The low-set transition further accentuates the bowl's height without being too dramatic or excessive, fostering a bowl-forward aesthetic that's still rooted in classic pipe design. This piece's traditional appeal is cemented thanks to the rich, warm finish of the Chestnut series, its warm stain pairing well with its brindled stem.

A sibling to the Cumberland, Dunhill's Chestnut finish was inaugurated in 1983 to commemorate the closing of the Cumberland Rd. warehouse for which the Cumberland finish was named. Like the Cumberland, pipes in the Chestnut line wear the same dark, smoky stain and are fitted to stems of cumberland but feature a silky smooth, glossy finish compared to the Cumberland's rugged sandblast.
