Those drawn to pipes that offer iconic style, substantial chamber depth, durable practicality, and stunning aesthetics would do well to consider this "02" bent Billiard from Dunhill. Shape-wise, it's an archetypal rendition of the bent Billiard, looking as though it could have been fashioned a century ago. Furthermore, this pipe is bold and hearty in Group-5 size and featured in one of the English marque's rarer finishes: the crimson sandblast of the Ruby Bark line, accented with sterling silver.

Dunhill's Ruby Bark finish is one that's gone through a fairly extensive evolution since its inception in 1972. It began as the Redbark and has always remained a red-stained sandblast, but the color was brightened a few years after its introduction before Dunhill returned to the original, darker hue in 1976. Eventually, though, the Redbark was discontinued in 1987. After a hiatus of several decades, the same ruby-stained sandblast was re-imagined in the form of today's Ruby Bark finish, adding to the rich aesthetic crisp accents of sterling silver for a colorful presentation that still retains a high level of formality.
