DUNHILL Cumberland 31351

February 27, 2016January 19, 2019

England, 1981

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. Today we are glad to offer the 1981 Dunhill Cumberland pipe – cozy, elegant and practical.

The pipe markings are “DUNHILL CUMBERLAND \ MADE IN ENGLAND 21”, “31351”. The length is 14.1 cm (5.55″), bowl’s height is 4.2 cm (1.65″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm (1.46″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.7 cm (1.46″) and this pipe weights 29 gr. Briar, cumberland stem (slightly patched in the button area – you may identify it under a good light), no filter.

DUNHILL Bruyere 60

England, 1960s 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…

England, 1935-52 This Dunhill pipe came to us with the noticeably chewed mouthpiece and very faint nomenclature, and of course it was hardly possible to make it clearer, the challenge was to save at least a few more or less visible symbols during the restoration. So you may need very bright light and a good…

DUNHILL A 107 Patent

England It would be very helpful at least in the XXI century to have implemented a modern and comprehensive system for the smoking pipes dating and accounting. Just imagine: a pipe has a chip or a bar code, you take your scanner or a smartphone and in a second everything about the pipe is displayed…

DUNHILL Root Briar 4108

England, 1978 Initially Dunhill didn’t pay any special attention to a grain of briar. Perhaps, the public opinion had not been ready yet to a “straight grain” and material of early Bruyere pipes didn’t differ by a remarkable grain. But in 1931 Root Briar series was started. The pipes were made of Corsican briar, wonderful…

England, 1978 The sandblast finish is considered to be invented by Dunhill, at least this fact was confirmed with patents of 1917 – in Great Britain and 1920 – in the USA. From the very beginning Algerian briar was used for blasted pipes as it was much softer and provided deeper and more attractive finish….

England, 1996 The pipe is relatively young in comparison to other pipes, which we offer. It was made in 1996 and has been quite moderately smoked, so it needed rather a refresh than a restoration. We would like also to draw your attention to the really comfortable size (the middle range Group size 4 is…
