Dunhill's "02" design is an archetypal rendition of the classic bent Billiard, with other makers and artisans even looking to The White Spot as the standard for classic proportions and shaping cues. This Group 2 example is a choice iteration: Fitted to a saddle stem, the slender mouthpiece is well balanced against the petite bowl, offering sublime, lightweight smoking comfort.
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.
