The Bruyere was Alfred Dunhill's original finish upon launching his brand of premium pipes and smoker's accessories, and rapidly became synonymous with what is thought of, even today, as the quintessential pipe. To achieve the iconic 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.
Elegant and reserved, the Bruyere achieves a richness and depth of colour for which many pipemakers have striven, but few have attained. Any smoker having the pleasure of holding a Bruyere knows why it has been celebrated for over a century.
