See [[The Art of Sandblasting]], and by R.D. Field, for an in-depth look at Dunhill's revolutionary new finish. Concluding, the deepest and craggiest finishes were from Algerian briar, which is softer and yields more to the blasting. These are found in circa the 1920s, 1940s, and 1960's Shells. The pipes were double blasted until the 1960s, and then the double blast technique resumed in the 1980s calling it the "Deep Shell" finish. During the 1960s and ’70s, Dunhill could not acquire the Algerian briar. Consequently, the company’s sandblast pipes were much shallower and less distinct. Once again Dunhill showed itself to be innovative, inventing the “double blast” technique to bring about a deeper blast even with harder briar. The black shell sandblast finish uses a stain the was developed for the color, not the taste. Some enthusiasts experience them having a more bitter taste, even when judiciously smoked.
Se reporter à[[The Art of Sandblasting]], par R.D. Field pour une étude approfondie de cette nouvelle finition Dunhill révolutionnaire. Pour conclure, les finitions les plus profondes et les plus ravinées étaient obtenues avec la bruyère algérienne, qui est plus douce et se creuse davantage au sablage. On les trouve sur les Shell des années 20, 40 et 60. Les pipes étaient sablées deux fois jusque dans les années 60, ensuite la technique du double sablage fut reprise dans les années 80 sous le nom de finition « Deep Shell ». Durant les années 60 et 70 Dunhill ne pouvait pas se procurer de bruyère algérienne. Par conséquent le sablage des pipes était moins prononcé et moins distinct. Encore une fois Dunhill se montra innovant, inventant la technique du « double blast » afin d’obtenir un sablage plus profond même avec une bruyère plus dure. La finition Shell sablée noire utilise une teinture qui a été mise au point pour la couleur et non le goût. Les pipes sont d’un goût un peu plus amer, même lorsqu'elles sont fumées avec douceur.


In the 1990s there was a return to the first blasting techniques. These blasts had more personality, but nothing compared to the pipes of the past. The dyeing of this line was a dark wine color, which exposed to light presented a reddish tone to this series. At some point in the 1960s, the color was altered to black, but this too was rejected, and the original coloration was restored. Here we have some examples of the variations the process has undergone through the years:
