My First Dunhill Cumberland

[mtwaller]

I’ve wanted one for about as long as I’ve been smoking a pipe. Admittedly, that’s not terribly long. I’m glad I waited and pulled the trigger on this one, though. I got it at a very fair price from a fellow forum member. The ring grain is much more appetizing than what I’ve typically seen from Dunhill. Bonus - after a little research I learned that it’s a first year (1979). Not particularly noteworthy, but I thought it was a fun touch ?‍

The Dunhill Cumberlands always catch my eye as well. I’ve yet to pull the trigger on one.

Beautiful pipe. Enjoy it in good health.

To me, the Cumberland is the classiest of the Dunhill lines. I don't own one as I've limited my collecting to an earlier era, but I'm always drawn to the ones I see.

Yours is superb!

This one is a lovely smoker, I have no hesitation recommending one. I think they are just the most handsome looking pipes. I’m obsessed with Cumberland stems and a nice blast these days, so this line ticks all the boxes. Plus, 80’s Dunhill’s don’t command much in terms of price it seems, so they’re a steal compared to new ones.

I’ve seen more than a few pipes stamped “DIEHL” on the forums, they must have been (or still are) a well known shop in Germany? I’ve never researched them.

yes it's a very large tobacconist in Munich. I went to and like "Tabak Somer" when I went there.

That is a very nice looking pipe. It's shape elegant and the rusticated finish is, well, a little rustic. It's like the tweed jacket of pipes.

Awesome!

Very nice pipe!!

What a great pipe. The case and sock really do complete the package of luxury and class that Dunhill has represented for decades.
