About This Pipe
The Acorn isn't typically considered a classic English shape, most often associated with Danish pipe making. Dunhill's "27" design, however, is exactly what would be expected from an English rendition of the form — less supple in its curves, more firm of overall style, and with a flattened rim instead of the rounded version common on Danish pipes. This classic piece is presented in Dunhill's Cumberland finish, with an elegant silver band at the conjunction to its namesake stem.
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."
