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, 1967 It seems we talk about Charatan’s pipes very frequently. This Charatan’s, another Charatan’s, “Dunhill killer”… At the same time Dunhill’s pipes successfully beat all competitors and remain at the top of glory, popularity and commercial success.

February 20, 2017December 30, 2018
England, 1970s 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…

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!

England, 1949 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 very beginning Algerian briar was used for blasted pipes as it was much softer and provided deeper and more attractive finish….

England, 2003 The “Cumberland” series is relatively young in comparison to other lines – it was introduced in 1979 and named in honor of Cumberland Street – the street where production and warehouse capacities of the company existed comfortably for many years. But such brindle ebonite stems (“cumberland” stems – also a Dunhill’s invention!) make…
