Dunhill: Dress (5101) (2021) Tobacco Pipe

Dunhill's "01" Apple can vary in its degree of plumpness, some being considerably voluptuous, while others are more reserved and slender. This Group 5 rendition is of the former variety, presenting a voluptuous form reminiscent of the Brandy with its full base and tall, upward taper. It all combines for exceptional ergonomic comfort, and the added height creates plenty of chamber depth.

One of the most fashionable finishes in all of pipe making and one that inspired an entire aesthetic, Dunhill's Dress finish was first introduced in 1973 as the Black Briar — renamed "Dress" in 1979 with the addition of silver — and is meant to elegantly complement a tuxedo or similar formal wear, perfect for a night on the town. Characterized by its glossy, jet-black stain and sterling silver accent band, the Dress finish exudes class and imbues each pipe it adorns with a sense of refinement and sophistication. It's the progenitor of the term "dress pipe," now used to reference any black-and-silver pipe, and is one of the most distinctive finishes in all of pipedom.
