About This Pipe
This "06" Pot from Dunhill is presented in handy Group 4 size, offering a stout, thick-walled bowl that's posed at the fore of a sleek, arrow-straight shank-and-stem arrangement. It's a well-balanced composition, with the bowl, shank, and saddle stem visually harmonious. Dressed in the earthy Cumberland sandblast, the stummel offers a wealth of tactile and visual character.
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."
