==== Video Interview with Richard Dunhill ====
In the magazine ''Pipes and Tobaccos'' - fall 2010, there is an article By Stephen A. Ross called: "A century of excellence" that talks about the past, the present and the future of the brand. It also talks about the current manufacture of Dunhill pipes and a little about Mr. Kalmon Hener, one of our contributors and Product Line Director of the White Spot Division.
[[File:Emailing Pipe-Tobaccos-10-4Fall.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Pipes and Tobaccos Magazine]]
<blockquote><q>A century after Alfred Dunhill opened his first pipe workshop, Dunhill pipes continue to be synonymous with English excellence. Guarding the flame a century after Alfred Dunhill provided the spark are Kalmon S. Hener, the general manager of Alfred Dunhill Ltd.’s smoking accessory division, now known as the White Spot Division; Stephen Wilson, the production manager who has been with Dunhill for more than 40 years; and approximately 20 employees who make pipes and leather goods at Dunhill’s legendary factory on St. Andrew’s Road in Walthamstow, an area in northeast London not far from White Hart Lane, home stadium to the English Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.<br><br>Dunhill’s position atop the pipe market is strong. According to Hener, 2009 sales in the United States alone were up by more than 60 percent, making it the top market for Dunhill pipes.</q> Pipes and Tobaccos - Fall 2010.</blockquote>

Pipes were made at the end of 1918. Original Dunhill patented case is dated 1919.
Only 1 bowl (picture 2) has been very lightly smoked - there are traces of charring at the rim but original Bruyere finish is still visible inside the bowl. Other 3 bowls are unsmoked.

It was printed in the UK so the prices are mostly in Shillings, with the exception of the Dunhill DR pipes, which are in pounds. The catalog includes lighters, accessories, pouches, smokers´furniture, tobaccos, cigars and cigar cabinets, cigarette holders and even matches. Very interesting!

When we compare these two catalogs we can see that the price has changed from shillings to pounds. The value of the pipes is similar, but DR pipes are much more expensive than in 1967. And there are many more accessories, including jewelry, clocks, silver, crystal glass, drinking accessories, Dunhill toiletries, and gifts from Alfred´s bar and novelties.
