DUNHILL Bruyere 11781, 1979

England, 1979

In the beginning Dunhill created Bruyere. And several years (1910-1917) it was the single brand made by the company of a firm and dense Calabrian briar. And though pre WWII “bruyeres” were marked just by a letter “A” instead of model, the Bruyere series is the one of the oldest long-livers not only in the Dunhill family, but also among all pipes in general. A stylish slightly bent dublin pipe from 1979!

The pipe markings are “DUNHILL \ BRUYERE”, “11781”, “MADE IN \ ENGLAND 19”. The length is 14.2 cm (5.59″), bowl’s height is 3.8 cm (1.5″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.4 cm (1.34″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 3.1 cm (1.22″) and this pipe weights 25 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has normal smoked wear not excluding some roughness, but definitely without any major issues.

England A wonderful cherrywood pipe from the Dunhill’s family! The brand Savory (Savory’s) was created in the 1885 and very soon was acquired by Dunhill. We were advised that it was a tobacconist located on the Agryll str. in London. Savory pipes were ones of the Dunhill seconds (similarly to Hardcastle, Parker, Masta) and have…

England, 1955 Sometimes even a little person can play an essential (if not solving) role in large-scale events. At least there are enough movies with such moral. The same we could say about small enterprises and their influence on development of pipe making art: even a small manufactory can leave its very and very notable…

England, 1972 Red Bark is perhaps the best-known and valued Dunhill series among other “retired”. The Red Bark pipes were produced not for a long time – from 1972 to 1987, and in fact, they are traditional sandblasted Dunhills, but smokers and collectors are still attracted by these pipes and their unusual staining. By the…
