It's just hard not to love Dunhill's signature take on the Yachtsman/Zulu shape. The subtle degree of cant to the bowl, the slight elongation of the transition, the comparatively upright orientation of the aft, the elegant lines of the downturned shank and stem. all these elements work together to realize one of the most charming silhouettes in Dunhill's lineup. We see it here in Group 3 size, wearing the rich, earthy palette of the Cumberland line.
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."
