Black sandblasted Dunhill Shell pipe, classic straight ‘Fancy Bulldog’ No. 5 model with a traditional black ebonite mouthpiece. Rating: 5. The pipe is very elegant and the silver band gives it a refined look. Its distinctive feature is the absence of the traditional horizontal lines on the bowl, which lends it a fresh, alternative and highly original style. The pipe is large in size and stands out for its spacious bowl, ensuring excellent smokeability in any situation; it is an original straight model from Dunhill. Its lightness makes it ideal for any smoking session, whether out for a walk or comfortably seated in an armchair. A classic that never grows old and is always in style. The Shell series was characterised by a double sandblasting process that produced a deeper finish, whereas today the sandblasting is single for a ‘softer’ effect. This series was introduced in 1917 and was the second finish introduced by Dunhill; it remains a hallmark of the brand to this day. The pipe was produced in 2019.
