Alfred Dunhill started his shop in 1893 in London. In 1906 Dunhill made his first pipe. Today his pipes and other productions are made by his family. Everyone knows that Dunhill Pipes are some of the finest smoking pipes, made by hand using only the very best quality briar. Dunhill‘s strict quality controls ensure that every Dunhill pipe will deliver a pleasureable pipe smoking experience. All Dunhill pipes are marked with 4 numbers. The numbers skal be read like this: 5102 means: 5 = size of the pipe - 1 = size of mouthpiece and 02 = bent pipe. The sizes ranges from group1 (small) to 6 (big). If there is an F after the number it means its 9 mm. filter ready.
