About This Pipe
Seen here in Group 3 proportions, this Dunhill "05" Dublin is a traditional, straightforward take on the pipe chart standard. This undeniably classic rendition features a poised bowl that immediately catches the attention of anyone who lays eyes on it, and rightfully so, as the supple flare to its walls and the sleek nature of the shank and tapered stem places it at the forefront of attention. Here we find it dressed in one of the marque's most iconic finishes: the Shell Briar, a series who's dark stain highlights a handsome and crisp sandblasted texture, one which showcases a pattern of lovely grain beneath.
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.
