English Estates: Dunhill Root Patent (R) (R) (1950) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-002-38886
Boasting a remarkable vintage, this Pot from Dunhill dates back to 1950 and is an excellent example of the English marque's timeless style. Stout of bowl, this piece yet showcases a lean style, as its shank ebbs subtly out of a wide transition to meet a sleekly tapering stem, keeping this pipe lightweight and portable for easy smoking on-the-go. Up front, the bowl stands on a muscular heel and grows squat, broad walls that rise with a gentle forward cant, their cylindrical shape and hearty substance making for a substantial feel in hand. Dressed in the warm, rich stain of the Root Briar finish, this pipe showcases handsome grain throughout.
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.
