Dunhill Pipes Amber Root

Dunhill Amber Root pipes haven't been around for long. They have been available since 1995. It is supposed to be reminiscent of the earlier, much darker shade of Root Briars.

The dark honey-coloured shade works particularly well on pipes that are already grained. That is why most Amber Roots have a lot to offer in terms of grain style. Smoked for a long time creates a particularly intense contrast between the darker and lighter grain components.

Occasionally there are a few unique pieces that have a cumberland mouthpiece, but black ebonite is regularly used.

Particularly well-grained specimens are stamped "Amber Flame" and provided with appropriate flames as a quality mark for the grain.
