Smooth burgundy Dunhill Bruyere pipe, model 5103, classic straight billiard shape and traditional black ebonite mouthpiece. Rating: 5. This pipe is very elegant, and its deep, dark colour gives it a superior class. For many, this model is "the Pipe". Its characteristic feature is its almost elemental purity, which makes it very refined. A very classy model, one of Dunhill's most refined. The pipe is large and stands out for its generous bowl, which ensures excellent smokeability in any situation; it is Dunhill's classic straight model. Its lightness makes it ideal for smoking while walking or sitting comfortably in an armchair. A classic that never tires and is always current. An extraordinary piece that no collection should be without. The Bruyere was introduced in 1910, marked with an 'A' on the side of the stem until 1975, which stood for 'best quality'; until 1934, the stem was marked 'INNER TUBE'. It was the only finish available from 1910 to 1917 and the colour is the iconic very dark reddish brown. The Bruyere is considered the Dunhill par excellence. It was produced in 2019.
Alfred Dunhill opened his tobacco shop on Duke Street in 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 the EM models. 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'.
