DUNHILL 1967 ROOT BRIAR LBS (LARGE BILLIARD SLENDER) F/T BIRDSEYE ESTATE PIPE

Description

I can say hands-down this is one of the finest grained Dunhill Root Briar LBS I have ever seen, a stunning pipe indeed! More on that in a moment but we find here a classic now 54 year old LBS that is a gem. Dunhill's LB shape is one of the most iconic in their entire portfolio and the LBS was created to offer the same stout proportions but with a slightly more compact shank and typically a slightly longer stem. It's one of those pipes that just could not feel any better in the hand and offers nice thick walls with a generous chamber. This is the first LBS I have ever seen with a 20mm chamber opening meaning the walls are even thicker than usual! The shank is still quite muscular and round tapering just a touch to meet the original vulcanite stem with fishtail bit and crisp white spot. I absolutely love the Root Briar finish of the 1960's as it seems to offer a hint of red like the ones from the 1930's but still with lovely golden undertones. The grain on this pipe, wow, wow wow wow! The left and right side show some of the most perfect paisley birdseye grain you could ask for while cross is found to the front and rear showing absolutely amazing depth as it transitions to the birdseye, truly spectacular. An phenomenal offering from Dunhill, this pipe is not to be missed!!
