The Chestnut finish first premiered in 1983 to commemorate the closing of Dunhill's warehouse on Cumberland road, giving this finish a sentimental connection to the Dunhill legacy. Similar to Dunhill's legendary Bruyere finish, the Chestnut is made distinct by its cumberland stem. The display of black, brown, and red elegantly blended together give a passing resemblance to wood grain – Creating the illusion of a pipe crafted from one seamless piece of briar.
To our mind, the Chestnut is a perfect balance of opposites: Reserved but compelling, traditional yet timeless, classic while still being dynamic. Perfect for the modern pipe-smoker.
