Dunhill: Cumberland with Silver (5204) (2023) Tobacco Pipe

The first "5" stamp designates the bowl size; the "2" denotes a saddle stem; and the "04" represents the shape number. All those numbers combine in this classic straight Bulldog from Dunhill. There's plenty of chamber within the tall bowl, and the diamond is appropriately muscular and sturdy, balancing the overall form. It's dressed in the Cumberland line's rugged sandblast and accented with a band of silver.

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."
