Smooth brown Dunhill Amber Root pipe, straight fancy pear model, group 4 with traditional black ebonite mouthpiece. Evaluation group 4. The pipe is very elegant and its warm colour gives it a superior class. The group number is flanked by two, DD, as was once used to indicate the model. It has beautiful angel wing flaming, with horizontal grain on the sides and a beautiful partridge eye on the front of the bowl. The pipe is medium in size and stands out for its bowl, which is capable of excellent smoking in any situation; it is an original straight model from Dunhill. Its lightness makes it ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. The bowl, which is slightly tilted forward, gives it a very pleasant sense of movement. An extraordinary piece with minimal weight, ideal for carrying around all day. It is very rare to find this model, which deviates from the company's classic stylistic canons. The Amber Root was introduced in 1995 to include a series where the grain of the briar could be appreciated. The pipes have a regular flame pattern but not as dense as in the Root series. The colour is a 'warm' dark yellow-orange and the mouthpiece, originally Cumberland, is now black. Also available with flamed bowls marked 'Amberflame', classified from 1 to 3 'Drops'. The pipe was produced in 2017.
Alfred Dunhill opened his tobacco shop in Duke Street, London, in 1983 and presented his first pipe in 1906. His intention was to create something that was useful and reliable, aesthetically beautiful: he wanted it to last over time and be the best of its kind. Dunhill pipes were soon considered among the best pipes in the world, and their success is still evident today. They are handmade with the finest materials, from briar to German ebonite, and with an almost obsessive meticulousness that guarantees a finished product that is perfect in every detail. The special oil treatment of the briar is the secret of their quality, carefully guarded and protected by patent. Dunhill models have become a benchmark in the world of pipes, recognised for their undisputed class, refinement and elegance. They are timeless models that continue to give enthusiasts great satisfaction today, just as they did in the past. Dunhill boasts many admirers and collectors around the world who appreciate its drier taste, which mainly enhances EM pipes. There are two finishes, sandblasted and smooth, available in various categories depending on details such as colour or grain. They are graded from 1 to 6 according to their size, with 1 being the smallest and 6 the largest.
If, after more than a century, Dunhill is still one of the most sought-after and beloved pipes, it is perhaps due to Alfred's motto, which is still applied today in production: 'Nothing but the best'.
