Dunhill: Amber Root (3135) (2022) Tobacco Pipe

Both Dunhill's "21" and "35" shapes are renditions of the classic Zulu, exhibiting forward-canted Dublin bowls and often fitted with slightly bent stems. Where they differ is most noticeable at the transition and heel: The "35" found here displays a more curving profile, lending prominence to the bowl and heel and decreasing its cant compared to that of the "21." This Group 4 iteration beautifully embodies flowing, dynamic elegance, as the shank and stem curl into the flaring bowl.

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.
