DUNHILL Bruyere 333

February 27, 2016January 19, 2019

England, 1960s

First of all, this is the Dunhill pipe, no need to perform long explanations. Secondly, it has a very popular, respected and cool smoked canadian shape. Thirdly, it has no year suffix what is very rare for the post WWII Dunhill pipes, experts say it is the 1960 Dunhill most probably. And fourthly, the pipe comes with an original Dunhill box, which sadly is not in a perfect condition after 55 years storage (a little bit squashed), but makes the pipe even more valuable and collectable.

The pipe markings are “DUNHILL BRUYERE”, “333 F/T”, “MADE IN \ ENGLAND”, “(3) A”. The length is 13.8 cm (5.43″), bowl’s height is 3.8 cm (1.5″). External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.1 cm (1.22″) and 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.4 cm (1.34″) and this pipe weights 22 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with the break-in coat.

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.

England, 1960s A very nice example of the top grade Dunhill series. Usually the absense of the year suffix means the pipe was made in 1960 according to some experts. Of course if it’s not a patent period pipe. However the most interesting detail of this pipe is the skillfully replased shank. The quality of…

England It would be very helpful at least in the XXI century to have implemented a modern and comprehensive system for the smoking pipes dating and accounting. Just imagine: a pipe has a chip or a bar code, you take your scanner or a smartphone and in a second everything about the pipe is displayed…

England, 1978 Initially Dunhill didn’t pay any special attention to a grain of briar. Perhaps, the public opinion had not been ready yet to a “straight grain” and material of early Bruyere pipes didn’t differ by a remarkable grain. But in 1931 Root Briar series was started. The pipes were made of Corsican briar, wonderful…

USA This nice canadian shape pipe from 1950s required some more efforts than an usual pipe. First of all the stain and varnish was destroyed over many years and we decided to remove them all except pipe markings area. Second problem was a lost or damaged part of an air cooler and we had to…
