Dunhill's "12" Stack is an older design from the historic marque that demonstrates how shapes can gradually evolve and change over time. In an earlier form, it was the basis of one of the "windshield" pipe designs that Alfred Dunhill once marketed as ideal for automobile drivers. This Group 5 offering is a more classically inclined rendition of the shape, adding a bit stoutness as well as overall increase in scale and chamber to the form when compared to Group 3 and 4 versions.
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.
