About this Pipe:

The Dunhill Pipe- Shell Briar 3103- Billiard Silver Band is a great example of this Dunhill finish with a beautiful silver band accent and colored mouthpiece. As light as a feather, this pipe will be a beautiful addition to anyone’s collection.

This pipe features the patented “inner tube” created by Alfred Dunhill in 1912. This filter is a feature of Dunhill pipes with a straight shank, developed to reduce moisture, prevent clogging and protect the shank’s interior. Additionally, it will help trap tars inside the tube and facilitate cleaning. That said, using it is totally optional and the inner tube is easily removed.

About Dunhill’s Shell Briar Finish:

This finish was patented in the US in 1920. The pipes were double blasted until the 1960’s, and then the double blast technique resumed in the 1980’s calling it the “Deep Shell” finish. During the 1960’s and 70’s Dunhill could not acquire the Algerian briar. Consequently, the company’s sandblast pipes were much shallower and less distinct. Once again Dunhill showed itself to be innovative, inventing the “double blast” technique to bring about a deeper blast even with harder briar.

About Alfred Dunhill’s The White Spot:

Since 1912, Alfred Dunhill’s “white spot” has been the epitome of quality and prestige. Dunhill only uses Premium Grade AA briar and vulcanite stems.
