Dunhill: Chestnut (3205) (2015) Tobacco Pipe

Rendered in balanced Group 3 size, this "05" Dublin by Dunhill sees a pert, upright bowl posed at the fore of a lean, arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement. Proportionally well balanced, with the bowl, shank, and stem contributing equally to the composition, this piece boasts a sleek profile and a comfortable in-hand presence. Furthermore, it's dressed in the striking Chestnut finish, which highlights a wealth of attractive grain throughout the stummel.

A sibling to the Cumberland, Dunhill's Chestnut finish was inaugurated in 1983 to commemorate the closing of the Cumberland Rd. warehouse for which the Cumberland finish was named. Like the Cumberland, pipes in the Chestnut line wear the same dark, smoky stain and are fitted to stems of cumberland but feature a silky smooth, glossy finish compared to the Cumberland's rugged sandblast.
