Dunhill: County (4107F) (2021) (9mm) Tobacco Pipe

Offered in moderately sized Group 4 dimensions, this "07" Dunhill Prince is quite elegant, with a lithe, arrow-straight shank and elongated stem arrangement giving it the princely grace that lovers of the shape seek. This sleekness reinforces the visual presence of the plump bowl, allowing one to fully appreciate the broad, low-set waistline and subtle taper to the rim. Dressed in the English marque's ruggedly elegant County sandblast, the stummel features a warm stain paired with a Cumberland stem: here drilled to accommodate 9mm filters.

Like the Cumberland finish, Dunhill's County line pairs rich, cumberland stems with delightfully textured sandblasts. Typically, County pieces wear a lighter stain, often falling between the Cumberland and Tanshell hues, and since its introduction in 1986, with only a brief hiatus, the County remains stalwart within Dunhill's portfolio, especially desired by lovers of brindled vulcanite and warm sandblasts.
