This is a slightly different take on Dunhill's "01" Apple: The bowl is Group 3 size, but the shank and stem exude the slender sleekness of a Group 1 rendition. Such proportions create a visual disparity between the larger, more voluptuous bowl and the trim shank-and-stem combination, contrasting against The White Spot's conventionally balanced relative proportions. Accentuating this further is the slightly drooping heel, poising the bowl on the end. It's quite a compact rendition, too, offering a lightweight and pocket-friendly package that's ready for on-the-go smoking sessions.

When Alfred Dunhill released his patented Shell Briar, he forever changed the pipe smoking world at large. Dunhill has often been credited with being the first to offer sandblasted pipes (arguably the most popular finish today), and the Cumberland finish further displayed Dunhill's innovative spirit. Well received after its release in 1979, the Cumberland series was named for the English marque's warehouse on Cumberland road, and the line's signature, brindled vulcanite stem became so iconic, the warmly striated material is now referred to simply as "cumberland."
