[edit] POV

This article was written by a user called "Dunhillonline", and it kind of shows in the obvious slant it takes. Sarge Baldy 09:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I have already removed all the "advertisorial" - If you have any objections to the present content please can you elaborate? Thanks. --Richhoncho 09:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

The opening paragraph reads like a Horatio Alger story. Sarge Baldy 09:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Fair comment, but that's nothing to do with POV. --Richhoncho 09:51, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I would disagree. I believe it's POV to treat the topic of an article too sympathetically. But I think it's fine now. Sarge Baldy 09:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Much better. Thanks for that. Maybe stub should be added. --Richhoncho 10:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

The Terms & Conditions on the Alfred Dunhill website states "ALFRED DUNHILL does not authorise linking to its Web Site from a third party web site without its prior written authorisation." I wonder if Wikipedia has such written authorisation and if not whether the extlink to their website should be removed?

I very much doubt that they have the authority to enforce such a restriction, in any jurisdiction. Earthlyreason (talk) 04:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi:

I guess someone doesn't know how the internet works. I wonder if we should post a link to Fark or Slashdot about this?

[edit] No 'Ltd'

Surely the item name should be 'Alfred Dunhill'? It is not Wikipedia practice to include 'Ltd' after company names. This is surely a legacy of the original contributor who was apparently associated with the company. Earthlyreason (talk) 04:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wasn't Dunhill one of James Bond's favourite brands?

I have a hazy recollection of the novels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.184.139 (talk) 00:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dunhill luxury goods and Dunhill cigarettes

Is there / has there ever been a connection with the two companies? I know that Dunhill luxury goods (Alfred Dunhill) makes lighters and smoking requisites, so I can't be the only one to assume that the Dunhill that makes these things also has a connection to the tobacco company? Incidentally, most of the cigarettes I can think of do not have a website. Try and find Marlboro dot com or Lucky Strike dot com. Type Dunhill in Google and you get the luxury goods company, and British American Tobacco eventually. But there's no specific Dunhill cigarette website. Or Marlboro website, etc.. Odd. Anyway, I digress. Connection with the two companies? Please enlighten me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.126.177 (talk) 21:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Dunhill tobacco products (not pipes, but cigarettes and pipe tobaccos) went under control of Carreras (Craven "A" cigarettes) in 1967, and Carreras was later taken over by Rothmans, Rothmans by BAT (British American Tobacco). BAT own the trademark Dunhill for tobacco products and have full control over manufacture. 217.110.124.98 (talk) 11:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
