Dunhill: Bruyere (4101) (2023) Tobacco Pipe

Dunhill's "01" Apple, much like their "03" Billiard, is widely considered to be the essential archetype of the timeless shape. The bowl is affably plump, balancing its soft curves at the fore of a balanced round shank and tapered vulcanite stem. Dressed in the English marque's iconic Bruyere finish, this piece is a tour de force in classic English style.

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.
