In 1986 Dunhill released a line of premium Shell finish pipes - "RING GRAIN". These are high-quality straight grain pipes which are sandblasted. Initially only Ring Grain, but now in two different finishes. In 1995 the "Shilling" was introduced with Cumberland finish - is an extremely rare serie. These pipes exhibit a deeper blast characteristic of that of the 1930's - mid 1960's (and the limited 'deep blast' pipes of the early 1980's) and show a fine graining pattern. These are considered the best new Dunhills by many enthusiasts today, and are very rare. The finish is sometimes described as tasting like vanilla at first, with the taste becoming more normal or good as the pipe breaks in. | In 1986 Dunhill released a line of premium Shell finish pipes - "RING GRAIN".
