Dunhill: Ring Grain (3107) (2023) Tobacco Pipe

The "07" Prince is a tried and true Dunhill shape, featuring a squat, rounded bowl and an abbreviated shank, which, while proportional to the bowl, is outpaced by the long, slender stem. It's a definitively regal shape, not just because of the namesake, but due to the elegant profile it casts, its streamlined qualities denoting a sense of refinement. In this iteration, the jet-black vulcanite stem complements the inky hues of the rugged Shell Briar sandblast dressing the stummel.

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."
