DUNHILL Cumberland 3103

March 18, 2016January 17, 2019

England, 2002

Even if Dunhill didn’t obtain a patent for usage of brindle ebonite for stems, their input in promoting of a new material and invention of a suitable and well memorable name for it is undoubted. The name was born in 1979, when a new series of sandblasted pipes with modern stems was christened in honor of Cumberland Street – the street where production and warehouse capacities of the company existed comfortably for many years. This pipe is much younger then others at our site and it is a gift, thus it is stored in our collection and at times smoked with a great pleasure.

The pipe markings are”3103″, “(dunhill)”, “CUMBERLAND \ MADE IN ENGLAND 02”. The length is 14.2 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.0 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.4 cm and 1.8 cm. The depth is 3.3 cm and this pipe weights 39 gr. Briar, cumberland stem, patented aluminium stinger.

DUNHILL Bruyere 914
October 16, 2016January 7, 2019
England, 1972 In the beginning Dunhill created Bruyere. And several years (1910-1917) it was the single brand made by the company of a firm and dense Calabrian briar. And though pre WWII “bruyeres” were marked just by a letter “A” instead of model, the Bruyere series is the one of the oldest long-livers not only…

DUNHILL Red Bark 53
April 21, 2016January 14, 2019
England, 1975 Red Bark is perhaps the best-known and valued Dunhill series among other “retired”. The Red Bark pipes were produced not for a long time – from 1972 to 1987, and in fact, they are traditional sandblasted Dunhills, but smokers and collectors are still attracted by these pipes and their unusual staining. By the…

DUNHILL Root Briar 107 3R
May 9, 2014February 5, 2019
England, 1960s Unlike other competitors Dunhill’s approach to shapes and grades was pedantic and systematic indeed. Pipe smokers want variety. Which variety can we offer when all pipes are with the same white dot? First of all, a size (Group size from 1 till 6). Then a modification of a stem: tapered (0) or saddle…

DUNHILL Bruyere 60
August 2, 2023August 2, 2023
England, 1960s Evidently, this pipe has endured a challenging and turbulent journey throughout its biography. Beyond the customary cleaning, deoxidation, and polishing, considerable effort was invested in sanding and mending numerous scratches and dents on the bowl, carefully repairing a tooth mark on the stem, and securing two shank cracks with a nickel band. Though…

England, 1950-60s Children should have some degree of a freedom. Especially such “children” as the Parker trademark. That’s very well known story: the Parker company was founded by Alfred Dunhill in 1922 for the quite utilitarian purposes: to finish and market pipes which didn’t went into production as the Dunhill ones. However, this split happened…
