Dunhill: County (4127) (2023) Tobacco Pipe

Presented in Group 4 size, this "27" is Dunhill's Acorn or Pear shape, and while the English marque often fashions the design with a languid bend to the shank-and-stem arrangement, this particular rendition is as straight as an arrow. The tall, stocky bowl features a flared rim and a high-set waistline, which gives it a bulbous appearance in profile, made all the more noticeable by the sleek, minimalist oval shank and tapered vulcanite mouthpiece that stretch out of the wide transition. It's all dressed in the crisp sandblast and earthy stain of the 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.
