[edit] Price?
These sell for $10.00 for a pack of 25 king size in Canada....is that normal? Doesn't sound so expensive. -Anon ???
That does sound like a pretty normal price for Canadian cigarettes. However, Dunhill in Canada is made/owned by Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc. [1] So they are not the same as the Dunhill sold elsewhere in the world. When BAT bought Rothmans in 1999 the Competition authorities in Canada decide that that would give BAT too much control of the market. [2] Thus BAT sold all of the Rothmans brands (Including Dunhill) in Canada to a new holding Company Rothmans Inc which owns 60% of RBH (Philip Morris/Altria owns the other 40% of RBH) Syrrys 17:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Complaints and Problems with Dunhill
Cybourg speaks:
A lot of people are reporting head pain,sickness and blisters when they smoke the new replacement Dunhill filters in Malta. Is this something just happening in Malta or is it all the blue packs? A lot of bad throats, soreness and general feeling sickly have been reported after just a couple of cigarettes . People are actually stopping smoking after two cigarettes!!!! How do you complain about something like this?Cybourg Speaks 18:50, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
DunhillFan is dumbfounded:
U.S. market was totally empty of Dunhill International cigarettes for months. The retailers blamed the distributors, the distributors blamed Dunhill. Apparently the manufacturing was sold from one company to another. Now the Dunhills are back. No longer made in the USA or Switzerland but this time in Singapore, with much flimsier packaging, different corporate colors, logos, messages, and apparently different contents. The past Dunhill International burned evenly and slowly without sparks or braking ash. The current ones appears to be wrapped in inferior paper, unevenly cut and packed tobacco, ash flies off unexpectedly, the cigarette burns very unevenly and at times sports a flame from some particularily dry piece in the mix. To top it all, it definitely does not smoke nor taste like the Dunhill we all love. One has to wonder how long the new manufacturers expect to command premium pricing from their product. Sir Alfred Dunhill would have never let the quality slip like this.

[edit] Marsha Clark
According to Chris Darden in his book about the O.J. Simpson trial, Marsha Clark smoked "Dunhill Reds." I don't know if this information would be worth adding to the article--assuming it could be sourced and/or verified. 71.142.78.181 03:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dunhill luxury goods and Dunhill cigarettes
How old is the brand? Also, is there / has there ever been a connection with Alfred Dunhill and Dunhill cigarettes? I know that Dunhill luxury goods (Alfred Dunhill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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. I posted a similar question at the Alfred Dunhill talkpage. Another thing: I bought some Dunhill cigarettes today, and they have a new trendy style red pack, and it says on the side that there's no additives in the tobacco, like Natural American Spirit ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_American_Spirit ). How long have they been making these additive-free cigarettes? It was news to me anyway. I tried to check the Dunhill website, to read about this, but encountered the non-existent website problem I mentioned above. Anyway, two questions: why the shyness of the tobacco firms (Nokia phones, for example, will often create a separate mini-site for a new phone, and car manufacturers very often do the same separate 'boutique" website for new models), and also: should these additive-free Dunhill cigarettes not be mentioned in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.126.177 (talk) 22:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
