English Estates: Dunhill Amber Root (2106) (1999) Tobacco Pipe

In Group 2 size, Dunhill's "06" Pot trades its typically robust and hearty presence for a much more diminutive and compact disposition. This example offers convenient, lightweight dimensions for pocket carry and featherweight smoking. The chamber, while shallow, caters to the Pot's traditional, proportionally broad dimensions, and the relative proportions of the stummel remain handsomely stout. It's the perfect pipe for quick, on-the-go smoking sessions for the discerning collector, with this piece offering extra allure thanks to its unique pairing to a cumberland stem.

One of Dunhill's more recent finishes, the Amber Root was introduced in 1995. Like the Root Briar, it showcases a smooth stain, accentuating the briar's natural grain in traditional style. Typically auburn-hued, the Amber Root is often a touch darker in color than that of the Root Briar, pairing handsomely with the jet-black stem for an aesthetic that combines the grain definition of the Root Briar finish with the darker, smokier tones of the Bruyere.
