Dunhill's "04" Bulldog can vary quite a bit depending on its Group size. Here in moderate Group 3 designation, it's a reserved iteration, neither significantly tall nor especially squat. Likewise, the proportions between bowl and shank are balanced and indicative of Dunhill's classic shaping style. Its sharp, tapered heel lends some firmness to the profile, matched by the hard lines of the diamond shank and saddle stem, and it's finished in the warm sandblast and topped with a handsome cumberland stem of the County series.
Like the Cumberland finish, Dunhill's County line pairs rich, cumberland stems with delightfully textured sandblasts. Typically, County pieces wear a lighter stain, often falling between the Cumberland and Tanshell hues, and since its introduction in 1986, with only a brief hiatus, the County remains stalwart within Dunhill's portfolio, especially desired by lovers of brindled vulcanite and warm sandblasts.
