DUNHILL Dress 922

England, 1993

Dunhill Dress pipes are relatively young; the series was introduced in 1973 and it is distinguished by the dark (in the most cases black) smooth finish. Despite dark stain hides natural briar grain the “Dress” pipes look luxury indeed!

The pipe markings are “DUNHILL \ DRESS”, “922”, “MADE IN \ ENGLAND 33”, “9 MM”, “(5)”. The length is 15.3 cm (6.02″), bowl’s height is 4.9 cm (1.93″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm (1.46″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 4.2 cm (1.65″) and this pipe weights 49 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, 9 mm filter. The stem is newly made of the fresh piece of vulcanite so we can consider the pipe as a “partially unsmoked” :-).

England, 1988 This quite moderately smoked middle size and the highest grade Dunhill apple from the 1980s hardly needs any detailed explanations – the pipe speak for itself! Should smoke perfect with strong and medium mixtures. Highly recommended!

England, 1950s Normally the dating of Dunhill pipes doesn’t cause complications. In this particular case we may say for sure it’s one of the late patent period Dunhill Shell samples made in 1950, so it’s already more than 70 years old beauty now. Nevertheless the stamping “EX 511” adds some mystery and charm. Of course…

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…

England, 1967 It seems we talk about Charatan’s pipes very frequently. This Charatan’s, another Charatan’s, “Dunhill killer”… At the same time Dunhill’s pipes successfully beat all competitors and remain at the top of glory, popularity and commercial success.

England A wonderful cherrywood pipe from the Dunhill’s family! The brand Savory (Savory’s) was created in the 1885 and very soon was acquired by Dunhill. We were advised that it was a tobacconist located on the Agryll str. in London. Savory pipes were ones of the Dunhill seconds (similarly to Hardcastle, Parker, Masta) and have…

England, 1964 Among with the Duhill ODA Dunhill LB (LBS) series is rather a designation for a very specific, large, at times – chubby billiard shape. According to John C. Loring “Dunhill introduced the LB shortly following the end of World War I and the shape soon became one of, if not the most popular….
