About This Pipe
This particular style of Rhodesian dates back to the 1924 edition of Alfred Dunhill's catalog About Smoke: An Encyclopedia of Smoking. Similar to the traditional Rhodesian, it features a tapered upper bowl, demarcated by an equatorial ridgeline. However, here the rim's taper is noticeably concave rather than crisply beveled. Such a cue adds a more flourishing sense of curve to the profile, fitting in with that era's penchant for the Art Deco style, the movement having greatly influenced Alfred's About Smoke catalog. Here, it's offered in Group 3 size and dressed in the County finish.
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.
