About This Pipe
An elegantly shaped bent Dublin, Dunhill's "14" exudes class and poise, the sinuous shank and stem curling lithely into the flaring bowl, all while still maintaining a strong degree of austerity. A Group 4 offering, this particular rendition offers convenient size while not lacking in relative muscularity between the proportions of bowl and shank — furthered by the negative space of the saddle stem.
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.
