DUNHILL Cumberland 41022

March 18, 2016January 17, 2019

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.

The pipe markings are “DUNHILL CUMBERLAND \ MADE IN ENGLAND 22”, “41022”. The length is 13.5 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.8 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.0 cm and 2.2 cm. The depth is 4.0 cm and this pipe weights 40 gr. Briar, cumberland stem, no filter.

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, 1980s A very elegant middle size squashed bulldog of the most popular Dunhill Bruyere series. As usually – eye catching distinct grain. Made in 1980s (the last digit is difficult to identify, it might be 0, 6, 8 or 9), the great period to be born! Should smoke perfectly with strong and medium mixtures.

England, 1962-63 It seems the pipe has two year suffixes – one (“2”) was printed after the word “England” and the second (“3”) is located a bit below it. A new year transition pipe? 🙂 Despite the Group Size 4 the pipe really impresses with its dimensions and the shape – a very stylish large…

England, 1949 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, 1967 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…
