England, 1982

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 represent the 1982 Dunhill Cumberland pipe – elegant classical bent.
