Dunhill: Bruyere (5112) (2021) Tobacco Pipe

The traditional Billiard typically features a bowl with a height that matches the length of the shank. The Chimney of Stack, though, alters that proportion, with a Billiard bowl that extends in height beyond the shank's length. The Stack is still a classic shape but one with intentionally disparate proportions for the sake of greater chamber depth, and Dunhill's "12" design is a textbook example of the form. It's presented here in Group 5 size, offering plenty of chamber in a impressively lightweight form — all dressed in the timeless finish of the Bruyere series.

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.
