English Estates: Dunhill Bruyere (ODA) (848) (F/T) (1972) Tobacco Pipe

In robust ODA proportions, this vintage Dunhill Dublin shape takes on a playfully flared disposition about the bowl, which offers plenty of chamber within. A low, easy transition gives way to a sleek stretch of shank and stem out back, for a well-balanced, streamlined profile. Topping it off, this refined piece is found in the timeless Bruyere finish.

The Bruyere was Alfred Dunhill's original finish upon launching his brand of premium pipes and smoking accessories and was the only Dunhill finish from 1910 until 1917. Even after the addition of other finishes, the Bruyere maintained a high level of popularity, becoming synonymous with what is thought of, even today, as the quintessential pipe. To achieve the iconic, ruby hue and saturation, a skilled craftsman painstakingly layers particular stains in a precise manner, then meticulously polishes the pipe to a high luster. The final result is, simply put, timeless.
