DUNHILL 1973 ROOT BRIAR CLASSIC DUBLIN SHAPE 43 F/T ESTATE PIPE

Description

Outside of the 1930's, in my opinion the Root Briars of the 1960's and 1970's had the most beautiful finish as Dunhill returned to adding a touch of red into the mix. Most of the Dunhill Dead Roots I have seen were made in the 1970's for whatever reason; was a good decade for them! This 1973 is drop dead gorgeous and featured in a lovely Group 2 classic canted Dublin shape 43. The 43 dates back to the very early Patent Era and has been a staple in Dunhill's lineup even to this day despite the shape code changes. At only 22g, it is amazingly lightweight. The bowl offers incredibly thick walls with a healthy chamber for its size offering nice capacity. Shank is round and sturdy and meets the original vulcanite stem with crisp white spot and fishtail bit. Finish as previously mentioned is stunning, rich and warm in a deep golden with some reddish undertones while the grain displays exceptional birdseye covering the flanks with fine cross grain to the front and rear. Classic! This now 48 year old Dunhill is in great shape overall and promises an excellent smoking experience.
