Dunhill: Amber Root (4112) (2023) Tobacco Pipe

The traditional Billiard typically features a bowl with a height that matches the length of the shank. The Chimney or 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 4 size, offering plenty of chamber in a impressively lightweight form — all dressed in the handsome finish of the Amber Root series.

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.
