DUNHILL 1978 ROOT BRIAR CLASSIC STRAIGHT APPLE SHAPE 41011 ESTATE PIPE

Description

I've said it once and I'll say it again, the Apple is my favorite shape of all time! Why? They seem to smoke better than any other, always classic. Dunhill's shape "01" is as good as any with this high grade Root Briar being made in 1978. The bowl is stout and cradles in hand perfectly while offering healthy chamber capacity. The shank is round and on the chubby side extending to meet the original vulcanite stem with fishtail bit and crisp white spot. The 1970's saw some of the finest Root Briars ever made for whatever reason, maybe Dunhill's briar source was just plain excellent in that decade. This one is absolutely covered in paisley birdseye on the left side while the right shows more in almost starburst fashion with straight and flame radiating in spectacular fashion. A very fine Dunhill Apple indeed, this beauty simply will not disappoint!
