Dunhill Pipe
Smooth finishes
- Hand-polishing enhances the beauty of the natural grain giving the pipe bowl a lustre which only improves with age and usage.
Bruyere
- The original finish from Dunhill – and the pipes are so smooth to the feel, more so than any other finish. The rich high-polished burgundy colour softens to a satin glow as the pipe is smoked; and over time the fine grain appears as if out of the shadows. Irrespective of shape, size or finish, all Dunhill pipes are of one quality only – the finest.
Why Dunhill:
• The durability and cool sweet smoking of the Alfred Dunhill pipe with its “White Spot” trademark are universally acclaimed. Made from the finest quality briar, the “Dunhill” represents more than 90 separate processes over a period of several months. While there are checks and quality controls every step of the way, the final inspection before each pipe is released onto the market is made by only one person. An indication of the scarcity of fine briar to meet the standards demanded of a Dunhill “White Spot” pipe. These standards ensure that each pipe will smoke perfectly from the start and, with proper care, will never lose its original sweetness. The flawless briars are perfect – no fills, no flaws, no pits; only 5 out of every 100 ebauchons entering the factory leave as a Dunhill. The mouthpiece of every Dunhill pipe is hand-cut from a solid rod of “Vulcanite” – the Dunhill name for a rubber compound which, although tough, is easy on the teeth and does not flavour/taint the smoke. In colour it may be Black, or Cumberland (marbled brown). The Dunhill “White Spot” was the first pipe to carry a guarantee. That little white spot is still a symbol of perfection and style, and the guarantee still holds. Dunhill pipes have an exceptionally long life and are in great demand as refurbished “estate” pipes. They are highly regarded as “Collectibles”.
