In 1921, September 19, Alfred filed patent for self-filling cartridges in US, registration No.[https://pipedia.org/images/d/d9/US1490808.pdf 1490808]. (The British patent was granted in 1920, Patent No. 172198/20. Unfortunately, I did not find the original patent file to know - exactly -  when it was registered and granted). This invention relates to improved means for charging or filling pipes for Smoking. The patent was granted in Apr. 15, 1924 in the United States.
<blockquote><q>For this purpose it has already been proposed to provide a cartridge formed from a cylindrical wad of tobacco furnished with a wrapping or envelope of paper or other material which can be readily torn and with a suitable length of tape or the like secured to the said wrapping or envelope and so disposed with respect thereto that the tape, will when pulled serve as means for tearing the wrapping or envelope and for removing the same either before or after the insertion of the cartridge into the bowl of the pipe.<br>
My present invention relates to an in proved form of cartridge, which is easy to manufacture and simple and convenient in use.</q> UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE - ALFRED DUNHILL, OF LONDON, ENGLAND. MEANS FOR CHARGING SMOKING PIPES. Serial No. 501,552.</blockquote>
The product appears in "About Smoke" catalog - "Dunhill Tobaccos" section.
