English Estates: Dunhill Root Briar (2101) (2012) Tobacco Pipe

Bearing Dunhill's esteemed Root Briar designation, this sleek "01" Apple is sure to please those with a discerning eye for grain patterns. In diminutive Group 2 proportions, this piece would fit well into a coat pocket, making this an impressive travel pipe. A testament to Dunhill's commitment to tradition, the shaping on display is pure English style, with balanced proportions and solid shaping. Dressed in Dunhill's honey-hued Root Briar finish, the stummel displays excellent flame grain and birdseye.

The highest honor for a Dunhill pipe is to receive the prestigious Root Briar appellation. Root Briars have been coveted by pipe smokers ever since they first debuted in 1931, due to the fact that each pipe must boast briar completely free of even the most minor of blemishes. Dunhill has the strictest of standards and expectations for quality with all of their pipes, and so any block of briar that comes to bear the Root Briar stamp must indeed be superlative.
