English Estates: Dunhill Amber Root (6117) (2023) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-002-37620
A rarity among rarities, the "17" straight Bulldog, when scaled up to Group-6 size, becomes something remarkably forceful and bold for the English school. Its Saucer-like bowl houses a chamber of impressive proportions, making it a perfect match for a more complex blend. The shank is muscular and rises most of the way up the bowl, almost to the crisp beadlines at the waist. That said, such a bold, large version of the "17" is decidedly more rare, making this Amber Root piece quite a find for collectors.
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.
