Dunhill: County (4108) (2023) Tobacco Pipe

On Dunhill's standard shape chart, the "08" can designate either a bent Rhodesian or a bent Bulldog, depending on the shape of the shank. This particular Group 4-sized offering is of the Bulldog variety, and it pairs a broad, muscular bowl to an upturned diamond shank and a demurely curved tapered stem. The shank's firm, rigid lines provide a touch of structure to the composition and mirror the ridgeline that wraps just below the bowl's tapered rim. Additionally, this "08" is dressed in Dunhill's rustic County finish.

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.
