DUNHILL Bruyere 60

March 18, 2016January 15, 2019

England, 1960s

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. The year suffix is unfortunately already not visible but the pipe comes from a 1960s collection. A classical capacious billiard.

The pipe markings are “DUNHILL \ BRUYERE”, “60 F/T”, “(4)A”, “MADE IN \ ENGLAND”. The length is 13.3 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.8 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.0 cm and 2.1 cm. The depth is 3.9 cm and this pipe weights 25 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter . The chamber has been protected with the break in coat.

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…

England, 1978 The sandblast finish is considered to be invented by Dunhill, at least this fact was confirmed with patents of 1917 – in Great Britain and 1920 – in the USA. From the beginning Algerian briar was used for blasted pipes as much softer and providing deeper and more attractive finish. Although in 1960-70…

England, 1935-52 This Dunhill pipe came to us with the noticeably chewed mouthpiece and very faint nomenclature, and of course it was hardly possible to make it clearer, the challenge was to save at least a few more or less visible symbols during the restoration. So you may need very bright light and a good…

England, 1988 One of the largest (Group size 5) Dunhill pipes of the oldest and most popular series and very successful “Diplomat” shape. The pipe was born in 1983, but looks very young and fresh and as for its age. Highly recommended!
