England, 1967

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 lightweight and compact canadian pipe from 1967!

The pipe markings are “DUNHILL \ BRUYERE”, “335 F/T”, “(3)A” (hardly visible), “MADE IN \ ENGLAND 7″ (almost invisible). The length is 13.2 cm (5.2″), bowl’s height is 4.1 cm (1.61″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.1 cm (1.22″), internal diameter is 1.7 cm (0.67″). The depth is 3.2 cm (1.26”) and this pipe weights 28 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem (a bit patched, you may identify the track under a good light), no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat.

DUNHILL Tanshell 142
January 17, 2016January 20, 2019
England, 1966 The Dunhill Tanshell series is a child of stormy 1950-60s. Due to a difficult political situation in Algeria supply of Algerian briar was temporally suspended. The situation was used by Dunhill as a good chance to try Sardinian briar and to use own patented deep sandblast technique. The material is significantly much denser,…

England, 1930s Both stampings and the shape number (296 for a canadian) testify that it’s a Comoy’s creature. Moreover such the stamping in a circle with “MADE” at the top, “IN” in the middle, and “ENGLAND” forming the bottom of the circle proves that the pipe was undoubtedly made not later than in the 1930s…
