The Dead Root idea was conceived at the end of the 1920s and then realized in the early 1930 years. The Dead-Root brought a stronger grain feature to the already well-established "Bruyère" (from 1932 on it received the same finish). The D.R. models are perfect. Made with the best Briar available and that is – compulsorily – "Straight Grain". They are rare models of considerable value, which vary according to the graduation of the grain.<br><br> | The Dead Root idea was conceived at the end of the 1920s and then realized in the early 1930 years.

In 2000, a new D.R. series was launched with amber contrast finish and stronger grains, called "Amber Flame". It's also a limited edition and they follow the same criteria but classified with "flames" instead of stars. Like his brother, only the best grains are selected to make the Amber Flame which is finished with an amber-colored stain and a black vulcanite mouthpiece. | In 2000, a new D.R. series was launched with amber contrast finish and stronger grains, called "Amber Flame".

'''Addendum:''' After the beginning of the 1930s, DRs with Bruyere finish were also produced. It is not known for sure whether they were produced frequently over the decades that followed. There are rumors that were produced in the '60s and '70s for the German market, being "C" the highest grade.<br> | |||

The Bent-Rhodesian (circled) in Root finish was made in 1984, and of course it shows the white dot on the Vulcanite stem. It's 7 millimeters (!) long and weighs 0.005 Gramm (!) but theoretically, it is absolutely functional. On display in Dunhill's London showroom. - Space Shuttle was inspired by the space shuttles riding atop a Boing 747 in route back to Florida from Edwards airbase). | |||
