DUNHILL Cumberland 41022

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, 1956 An absolutely amazing highly collectable full bent (“Oom Paul”) pipe created by Dunhill carvers in 1956. The pipe is completed with two newly made stems: the canonical black vulcanite stem with the white spot according to Dunhill standards and the modernistic inversion white acrylic stem with the black spot. So you may choose…

England, 1971 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, 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, 1955 Sometimes even a little person can play an essential (if not solving) role in large-scale events. At least there are enough movies with such moral. The same we could say about small enterprises and their influence on development of pipe making art: even a small manufactory can leave its very and very notable…

England, 1960s A very nice example of the top grade Dunhill series. Usually the absense of the year suffix means the pipe was made in 1960 according to some experts. Of course if it’s not a patent period pipe. However the most interesting detail of this pipe is the skillfully replased shank. The quality of…

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…
