Bruyere Quaint Bent Dublin (5) (2025) Tobacco Pipe

Belonging to their Quaint series, denoting pipes that fall outside of Dunhill's traditional shape chart and often times marking unique designs, this bent Dublin maintains the gentle taper often associated with the shape, but with a softly rounded heel reminiscent of an Acorn. Coming out of the low-slung transition that accentuates the height of the bowl, the shank makes a slight upturn before being outpaced by the tapered stem, itself making a firm downturn, which should provide quite the comfortable smoking position. Dressed in the warm, deep stain of the Bruyere series, the palette is classic and handsome.

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.
