L'année clé pour les tabacs Dunhill a été 1981 lorsque la fabrication de l'essentiel des tabacs Dunhill fut transférée de Dunhill à Murray en Irlande du Nord (à l'époque Dunhill et Murray étaient toutes deux filiales d'une même société mère). Quoique les blends soient restés d'une très bonne qualité, de nettes différences apparurent immédiatement, du fait je suppose de l'utilisation par Murray de tabacs plus jeunes, et probablement de quelques changements de recettes dûs à l'indisponibilité de certaines variétés de tabacs. La seule exception au transfert vers Murray fut les mélanges My Mixture (sauf le 965). Les mélanges My Mixture (autres que le 965) étaient (et sont toujours) disponibles seulement dans la boutique Dunhill de Duke Street à Londres. Ces mélanges ont apparemment continué à être assemblés à la boutique un certain temps, et aujourd'hui sont fabriqués par un petit blender Londonien pour la boutique de Duke Street. | |||
*''''20s - '60s:''' During this period the 'knife lid' was the primary tin style. In the '50s some 'coin twist' tins were introduced with a decade long, transition from the 4 ounce 'knife lid' to a 4 ounce 'coin twist' starting in the early '60s. <span style="font-size:small"> [This decade long 'transition' may be indicative of the extended 'in the tin' aging that Dunhill gave its tobaccos.] </span> These 4 ounce 'coin twists' are often called 'tall boys' because they were the same circumference as the 2 ounce 'coin twist' tins, just twice as high. Not all tins during these five decades were imprinted with the packaging weight but when they were it was only in ounces. Closer dating may generally be arrived at through the royal crest that appears on most tins. A Prince of Wales Crest dates from 1921 to 1936; a George VI Crest with a reference to the King dates from 1936 to 1953; a George VI Crest with no reference to the King dates to 1954; a George VI Crest with reference to the late King dates from 1954 to 1962; and an Elizabeth II Crest dates from 1963 to 1995. In addition tins from the WWII era bore a small reference to war time packaging requirements. | *''''20s - '60s:''' During this period the 'knife lid' was the primary tin style.
