England, 1999

The largest of the serial production Dunhill Cumberlands. Absolutely convincing, absolutely capacious and absolutely traditional English billiard from the greatest manufacturer!

The pipe marking is “6103”, “(dunhill)”, “CUMBERLAND \ MADE IN ENGLAND 39”. The length is 16.0 cm (6.3″), bowl’s height is 5.3 cm (2.09″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.9 cm (1.54″), internal diameter is 2.3 cm (0.9″). The depth is 4.5 cm (1.77″) and this pipe weights 57 gr. Briar, cumberland stem, no filter. We had to fix a crack in the shank and clamp it by the nickel collar for the maximum reliability.

HARDCASTLE’S Old Bruyere Giant
December 3, 2017January 10, 2019
England, 1930-40s The pipe is a giant indeed!
