Comparatively young when one takes a look at the long, storied history of Dunhill, the Amber Root finish has been prized since it first appeared in 1995. The softly conflagrant presentation hearkens back to the original Root Briar finish of the 1930s, and has consistently been a favorite with collectors. While certainly handsome with its rich, warm colour, the Amber Root will sometimes be accented with the striking contrast of sterling silver or the pleasant, creamy tones of natural horn.
On rare occasion some Amber Roots may present exceptional flame grain. Pipes that exhibit such grain will be stamped "Amberflame" and, depending on just how spectacular the grain, will carry a grade of one to three "flames".
