-<blockquote><q>Then there are the straight grain designations, perhaps the ne plus ultra of pipe collecting. With Alfred Dunhill, this category takes on a whole new aura of exclusivity. The rarest straight grains are stamped DR (which stands for “Dead Root,” referring to the underground burl of the heath tree from which the oldest and usually best-figured briar is cut). Currently, the DR series ranges from one to six stars; the more stars, the tighter and more uniform the grain. Beyond that, the DR designation ventures into the stratosphere of a rarity with alphabetical letters, starting with DRG, and the even scarcer DRH.</q> Richard Carleton Hacker - SMOKE - Spring 2002</blockquote>

Avec Alfred Dunhill, cette catégorie a gagné une nouvelle aura d'excellence.  Les straight grain les plus rares sont marqués DR (pour "Dead Root", qui se réfère au bulbe souterrain de la bruyère arborescente duquel on tire la plus vieille et en général la meilleure bruyère). A l'heure actuelle, les series DR vont de une à 6 étoiles ; plus il y a d'étoiles, plus le grain est serré et uniforme. Au delà, la designation DR s'aventure dans la stratosphere de la rareté avec les lettres alphabétiques, débutant par DRG, et même la très rare DRH".</q> Richard Carleton Hacker - SMOKE - Spring 2002</blockquote>
 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>
