The Hardcastle brand was founded in 1908 by Edmund Hardcastle before Alfred Dunhill fell in love with the brand and bought it in 1936. This gives Hardcastle a priceless heritage!
Hardcastle pipes are now hand finished by Master Pipe Maker, Simon Mitton.
Hardcastle pipes are made from a high grade of Spanish Briar and the bowls are stained not sprayed like many modern pipes which is more labour intensive but ensures they will never bubble with heat.
The mouthpieces are made from a more traditional Italian Vulcanite stem which is softer on the teeth and is the stem of choice for Dunhill pipes.
The Crescent pipes are finished in a lovely deep rich brown stain with a lighter brown on the raised and smooth areas.
Supplied in Hardcastle box.
