About This Pipe

Presented here in Group 5 size, Dunhill's "12" Stack possesses an exceptionally deep chamber that is sure to produce many long, enjoyable smokes. Despite the chamber's size, the bowl retains trim proportions by maximizing verticality, and the congruent shank-and-stem combination presents a perpendicular grace. Additionally, this "12" features a sleek stem and is dressed in Dunhill's Shell Briar finish.

The Shell Briar's addition to the Dunhill catalog was a pivotal moment in pipe smoking history. Before 1917, pipes with sandblasted finishes had never been made, and Alfred Dunhill's innovative mind created arguably the most popular finish for pipes today when he unveiled the Shell Briar. With its dark, reserved color palette and delightful texture, it's no surprise that it's still wildly popular over a century later.
