Description
Dunhill Pipe
Sandblast finish:
- The bowls have had the soft wood on the surface sandblasted off. Any weak bowls shatter under this process. The survivors are remarkably tough and light. The shell briar is usually a little thinner-walled than its smooth counterpart and may need a little more care in building up the carbon layer. In order to accommodate the stamping on a sandblasted pipe it is necessary to smooth and level the base of the stem. A benefit of this (possibly originally unintended) is that most sandblasted pipes, even the bents, are able to stand on their own.
County:
- The newest finish, a lighter modern, washed, deep tan colour which tones beautifully with the Cumberland mouthpiece. The extra buffing to achieve the “washed” look results in a satin-smooth finish to these sandblasted pipes. The contrast between the dark valleys and light ridges makes it easy to appreciate the grain.
- Irrespective of shape, size or finish, all Dunhill pipes are of one quality only – the finest.
