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, 1982 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, 1969 That’s a very rare sample of the Dunhill Shell Briar pipes stamped with a letter shape code instead of a number. Such codes were used at times prior to 1976 (according to Pipephil) and the shape “P” corresponds to “1/2 bent bulldog”. A unique collector’s finding!

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.

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…

England, 1996 The pipe is relatively young in comparison to other pipes, which we offer. It was made in 1996 and has been quite moderately smoked, so it needed rather a refresh than a restoration. We would like also to draw your attention to the really comfortable size (the middle range Group size 4 is…
