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 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, 1940 No staining just a natural finish! This is an exciting indeed example of the good old fashioned English pipe carving art. The pipe was made in 1940, already on the beginning of the Wold War II, but it shows the same approach, the same sense of taste and the same highest skills which…

England, 1956 An absolutely amazing highly collectable full bent (“Oom Paul”) pipe created by Dunhill carvers in 1956. The pipe is completed with two newly made stems: the canonical black vulcanite stem with the white spot according to Dunhill standards and the modernistic inversion white acrylic stem with the black spot. So you may choose…

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.

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…
