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, 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…

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, 2002 Even if Dunhill didn’t obtain a patent for usage of brindle ebonite for stems, their input in promoting of a new material and invention of a suitable and well memorable name for it is undoubted. The name was born in 1979, when a new series of sandblasted pipes with modern stems was christened…

England, 1986 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…
