About This Pipe
On May 8, 1945, the Allies accepted Germany's unconditional surrender, bringing a brutal chapter of World War II to a close. News of the victory sparked celebrations across Europe, and today, VE Day — Victory in Europe Day — is still observed as a public holiday in several countries. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Dunhill has created a limited-edition, serialized collection of pipes, each presented in a beautifully crafted book-style case, blending historical homage with exceptional artistry.
Inside the case rests Dunhill's "34" straight Brandy in Group 4 size. This classic shape features a robust bowl with a gently rounded heel that tapers gracefully toward the rim. A rounded shank and tapered stem complete the silhouette with understated elegance. This example is presented in Dunhill's superlative Root Briar finish, displaying flickering flame grain around its bowl, and has been accented with a stately silver band. The set also includes a striking tamper, its top shaped as two fingers forming a "V" for victory, calling to mind Winston Churchill's iconic gesture through England's struggle against the Axis.
