Dunhill White Spot Waterloo Bruyere Limited Edition – No.82/140 worldwide

Dunhill White Spot Waterloo Bruyere Limited Edition – No.82/140 worldwide. Three very exclusive Battle of Waterloo pipes have been specifically created and manufactured to remember the 200th anniversary of the battle and to celebrate the victory at the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. These are very exclusive and must be one of the most impressive Collectors series we have set eyes on to date

The Pipe

The pipe and tamper are impressive enough alone but as you’d expect from Dunhill they have really pushed the boat out with exquisite presentation.

On opening the Leather bound case you are presented with a Suede padded pillow embossed with “The battle of Waterloo 1815 and the White Spot Logo. When removed the Pipe, Tamper and Certificate of Authenticity are revealed, housed in a fitted Velvet case. This can be removed to reveal the hard back copy of Waterloo, the decisive victory by Peter Snow

The Battle of Waterloo pipe is an elegant Quaint shape in size group 4. This shape has been specially made for this edition and has never been produced by Dunhill before. The pipes have semi-bevel rims and are fitted with precious metal bands engraved with the inscription The Battle of Waterloo and 1815 – 2015.

Tamper

The pipe tamper is shaped as a cannon of the period, with its main body cast from solid Sterling Silver.

What gives those pipe tampers indeed historic importance is that the Cascabel (knob) and Breech of the cannon tampers are made from pig iron that was recast from an original French 12-pounder cannon ball from the Waterloo battle field.

The deformed cannon ball was found buried into the Waterloo battle field ground in 1979 by a French metal detectorist and as subsequently purchased by the director of Alfred Dunhill’s White Spot division in 2012 in anticipation of this project.

The Book

Furthermore, each set is accompanied by the hardcover book, Waterloo The decisive Victory edited by Colonel Nick ipscombe, which has been integrated with its slip case under the removable tray in the base of the presentation box. Each set is accompanied by its numbered and hand-signed limited edition certificate

About Dunhill White Spot Pipes

In 1907, Alfred Dunhill inaugurated his tobacconist shop on Duke Street, initially sourcing pipes from independent pipe makers. By 1910, he established his own workshop near the shop. Around 1912, Dunhill introduced the ivory White Spot to the mouthpiece, aiding both staff and clients in correctly positioning the hand-cut mouthpiece on the Dunhill pipe. This emblem soon evolved into a universally recognized symbol for all Dunhill products and secured international trademark status.

Dunhill pipes are renowned as some of the finest globally, earning them the moniker “the Rolls Royce of Pipes.” Crafted from flawless briar, these pipes undergo expert craftsmanship, ensuring an absence of pits, fills, or flaws. Coveted by collectors worldwide, Dunhill Pipes are highly sought after.

In Europe, James Barber boasts arguably the largest and finest selection of Alfred Dunhill pipes, with over 500 available for purchase. Personally curated by James through frequent visits to the Dunhill pipe factory, each pipe reflects a commitment to quality and excellence.

Dunhill pipes are often considered collectibles. The brand’s long history, commitment to quality, and limited production runs contribute to the desirability of their pipes among collectors.

Dunhill pipes are often graded based on the quality of the wood, craftsmanship, and other factors. Higher-grade pipes may have exceptional grain patterns and meticulous finishing.
