Alfred Dunhill "The White Spot" Cumberland Pipe - Shape 4104 (Bulldog) - Made in England 25

Geometry and style: the Bulldog by Dunhill.

This Alfred Dunhill - The White Spot in Cumberland finish is a masterpiece of British architecture and style. Produced in 2025 (as evidenced by the "25" date code after Made in England), it represents the perfect synthesis of traditional craftsmanship and timeless design.

The model is identified by the code 4104 , a classic Straight Bulldog :

• 4: Indicates the size of the burner ( Group 4 ), the most widespread and balanced "standard" size of the London house.

• 1: Indicates the classic mouthpiece (Tapered/Affusolato).

• 04: Indicates the Bulldog shape. A bold and "technical" shape, recognizable by its square (diamond) section stem and the bowl which often features the characteristic double bead lines at the widest point.

Distinctive Features:

• Cumberland finish: Introduced in 1979, this finish features a deep, dark brown sandblast that enhances the briar's strength. The bowl edge is smooth and polished, creating an elegant contrast with the rough surface of the body.

• Shape Bulldog (4104): Loved for its bold character. The diamond-shaped shank offers a secure grip and a unique tactile feel, while the bowl's thick mid-walls ensure a cool smoke. It's the quintessential "sports" pipe for the English gentleman.

• Cumberland Mouthpiece: Crafted from marbled ebonite ( Brindle ) in shades of brown and brick red, it blends perfectly with the bowl. The iconic "White Spot" is a symbol of engineering perfection.

• Year 2025: A very recent production example, ideal for those who want a brand new Dunhill with a lifetime of running in ahead of it.

Why choose it: The 4104 Cumberland is a pipe with character. It combines the practicality of a sandblasted finish (which masks scratches and dissipates heat) with the geometric elegance of the Bulldog shape. Perfect for medium-sized smokes (Flake or English Mixtures) and for the collector seeking the iconic Dunhill brand.
