DUNHILL Cumberland 52264, 1980

November 12, 2017December 26, 2018

England, 1980

The “Cumberland” series is relatively young in comparison to other lines – it was introduced in 1979 and named in honor of Cumberland Street – the street where production and warehouse capacities of the company existed comfortably for many years. But such brindle ebonite stems (“cumberland” stems – also a Dunhill’s invention!) make the series one of the best sellers and an objects of a highest attention of Dunhill admirers.

The pipe markings are “52264”, “DUNHILL CUMBERLAND \ MADE IN ENGLAND 20”. The length is 14.5 cm (5.71″), bowl’s height is 5.4 cm (2.12″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.3 cm (1.69″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 4.3 cm (1.69″) and this pipe weights 67 gr. Briar, cumberland stem, no filter. The chamber has normal moderately smoked wear without any major issues.

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…

The pipes were made of Corsican briar, wonderful…
