For the serious Dunhill historian, this is where a legend begins. This striking 31101 Straight Billiard hails from 1979—the absolute inaugural year of Dunhill's iconic Cumberland finish. Prior to this release, the pipe world had never seen anything quite like the Cumberland's marriage of a rugged, dark-brown sandblast bowl with a striated, reddish-brown brindle stem. This exceptionally preserved specimen is a pure piece of tobacco history.
The pipe body is a masterclass in classic British proportions, featuring a slender, perfectly balanced straight Billiard profile. The craggy, deep sandblast along the bowl beautifully transitions into a flawless, glass-smooth polished rim that perfectly showcases the rich, ruby-undertone hues of the briar. The original, historic brindle vulcanite stem sits perfectly flush against the shank, carrying the legendary White Spot proudly on top.
Stamped with an incredibly crisp, clear "31101 DUNHILL CUMBERLAND / MADE IN ENGLAND 19" , this pipe is in spectacular condition. The chamber is perfectly clean, the rim is immaculate, and the stem shows zero oxidation or tooth marks. A rare, investment-grade opportunity to own a first-generation icon that is entirely ready to get back to work.
