Introduite en 1931 et très prisée car le grain est plus marqué dans cette finition Elle était d'ordinaire – et même exclusivement dans les années 60 faite de bruyère corse. La finition Root Briar nécessite une tête absolument nette et d’un grain parfait. Par conséquent, c’est la plus chère des Dunhill. La plupart du temps on utilisait la bruyère corse pour la finition Root, car elle était généralement d’un grain plus fin. C’est une finition rare, du fait de la rareté de la bruyère nécessaire pour la réaliser. Ces pipes ne sont en général disponibles que dans les magasins de l’Entreprise, ou chez les principaux revendeurs. Les pipes au grain droit étaient auparavant graduées de A jusqu’à H, mais sont maintenant marquées uniquement 'DR' et graduées de une à six étoiles, les lettres G et H restant utilisées pour les pièces les plus fines. | |||
<blockquote><q>Dunhill introduced its third major finish, the Root finish, in 1931. Corsican mountain briar is characteristically beautifully grained and the Root was made exclusively from that briar into the 1960s. The pipe was finished with a light natural stain to allow the beauty of the graining to show through. Although always available with a traditional black vulcanite bit, the Root was introduced in either 1930 or more likely 1931 and fitted with a marble brown dark and light grained vulcanite bit that has since become known as the 'bowling ball' bit because of the similarity in appearance between the bit's finish and that of some bowling balls of the time. With the war, however, the bowling ball bit was dropped from production. Through 1954 (and after) the Root pipe nomenclature (including shape numbers) was identical to that of the Bruyere except that instead of the "A" of the Bruyere, the Root was stamped with an "R". In 1952 when the finish rather then LONDON was placed under DUNHILL, ROOT BRIAR rather then BRUYERE was used for the Root.</q> Loring, J.
