About This Pipe
Dunhill's "10" can take the shape of two different profiles, either a Liverpool or, in this case, a Bing's Favorite-style of Billiard. As is usually seen in these kinds of pipes, the shank and stem showcase a sleek, extended length that, while low-profile and quite lightweight, balances the visual weight of the comparatively large bowl quite well. The junction here is marked by a bright silver band that provides a healthy dose of elegant flash amid the warm sandblast of the stummel's handsome Cumberland finish.
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."
