Rendered in Group 6-size, Dunhill's largest standard size designation, this "02" bent Billiard is quite the bold, elegant piece, with a classic disposition. Tall and voluptuous, with a deep chamber and soft, extended heel melding into the gracefully arcing shank and tapered stem, this piece exudes refinement and is dressed in the smoky hue of the English marque's Bruyere finish.
The Bruyere was Alfred Dunhill's original finish upon launching his brand of premium pipes and smoking accessories and was the only Dunhill finish from 1910 until 1917. Even after the addition of other finishes, the Bruyere maintained a high level of popularity, becoming synonymous with what is thought of, even today, as the quintessential pipe. To achieve the iconic, ruby hue and saturation, a skilled craftsman painstakingly layers particular stains in a precise manner, then meticulously polishes the pipe to a high luster. The final result is, simply put, timeless.
