Dunhill was founded in London on 10 March 1907 when tobacconist and inventor Alfred Dunhill opened a small tobacconist's shop onDuke Street in theSt James's area.[1] He offered tobacco blends tailored for the individual customer. Dunhill was introduced in 1908 and was called the Absorbal. It was designed to counter any perceived health risk and had a "world first - cotton wool filter tip. Its slogan was the "Hygienic Cigarette".[2] Dunhill Cigarettes had aroyal warrant from 1927 until 1995.[3]
In 1939 the brand was introduced in the United States byPhilip Morris USA who leased the marketing rights for the U.S. and in 1962, "Dunhill International" was introduced.[3]
Dunhill cigarettes are usually priced above the average for cigarettes in the region where they are sold due to the use of higher-quality tobacco.[4]
