November 1, 2019November 1, 2019

England, 1988

This quite moderately smoked middle size and the highest grade Dunhill apple from the 1980s hardly needs any detailed explanations – the pipe speak for itself! Should smoke perfect with strong and medium mixtures. Highly recommended!

The pipe marking is “3101”, “DUNHILL \ ROOT BRIAR”, “MADE IN \ ENGLAND 28 (?)”. The length is 12.1 cm (4.76″), bowl’s height is 4.0 cm (1.57″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.8 cm (1.5″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.2 cm (1.26″) and this pipe weights 34 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England According to many respectable sources such as pipephil and pipedia Conway pipes were made “most probably” by Singleton & Cole.

But such brindle ebonite stems (“cumberland” stems – also a Dunhill’s invention!) make…

England, 1972 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…
