English Estates: Dunhill Bruyere 75th Anniversary Bent Billiard with Silver (A) (1) (1985) Tobacco Pipe

This bent Billiard is among Dunhill's 75th Anniversary series released in 1985, which included two pipes shapes inspired by early 20th century designs. As such, this bent Billiard features a compact, lightweight build. Its bowl is of a humble stature, with smooth supple walls transitioning into a proportional shank, which is punctuated with a sterling silver military mount. With the stummel wearing Dunhill's timeless Bruyere finish, this Billiard serves as a worthy commemoration of the marque's legacy.

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.
