Dunhill: Amber Root (4106) (2017) Tobacco Pipe

Dunhill's "06" is the epitome of the classic English Pot, and one that still retains a handy, compact disposition even in Group 4 size. The bowl is appropriately stout and robust, the arrow straight shank and stem maintaining that same kind of thickness and fostering an overtly muscular aesthetic that lends it a commanding presence in hand. It's finished here in the warm hues of the Amber Root finish, which showcases the bowl's lively grain patterns and further cements this piece's traditional appeal.

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.
