About This Pipe
On Dunhill's standardized shape chart, the "10" typically denotes a Liverpool, but it can also refer to Bing's Favorite Billiard. The difference between the two shapes is rather striking: While the Liverpool consists of a protracted round shank and an abbreviated tapered stem, the Bing's Favorite variant features a longer stem that's more harmoniously balanced with the shank, though the shank-and-stem arrangement, in its entirety, remains slender of build. This particular rendition is the Bing's Favorite Billiard, and it positions a tall, upright bowl at the fore of a gracile shank-and-stem arrangement for a sleek, streamlined appearance in profile. Even given its Group-4 size, the overall composition remains lightweight and comfortable in hand. It's dressed in here in the County sandblast and accented with a band of sterling silver.
Like the Cumberland finish, Dunhill's County line pairs rich, cumberland stems with delightfully textured sandblasts. Typically, County pieces wear a lighter stain, often falling between the Cumberland and Tanshell hues, and since its introduction in 1986, with only a brief hiatus, the County remains stalwart within Dunhill's portfolio, especially desired by lovers of brindled vulcanite and warm sandblasts.
