Alfred also sold pipes, but there are some inconsistencies regarding the origin of pipes in the first years of activity. Sources are claiming that the pipes came directly from France and others that Alfred bought from well-established local producers (we discussed this topic more deeply here: [https://pipedia.org/wiki/Dunhill#Pipe_Workshop Pipe Workshop]). Alfred Dunhill, however, was unsatisfied with the current quality of available pipes — they were simply not doing justice to his creative blending.
Alfred vendait également des pipes, mais il y a quelques incertitudes quant à leur origine, durant les premières années. Certaines sources déclarent que les pipes venaient directement de France, tandis que d’autres disent q’Alfred les achetait à des producteurs locaux en vue (ce point est discuté de façon plus précise ici: [https://pipedia.org/wiki/Dunhill#Pipe_Workshop L’atelier]). Alfred Dunhill, cependant, n’était pas satisfait de la qualité d’alors des pipes disponibles. Les pipes venant de France étaient abondamment vernies et par conséquent bouchaient les pores de la bruyère. Elles ne rendaient tout simplement pas justice à ses mélanges innovants.

According to Balfour in: "Alfred Dunhill One Hundred Years And More", initially the Tobaccos were obtained from George Dobie & Sons, a manufacturer of blends located in Paisley, west of the Midland Valley in Scotland and also of some cooperatives producing Tobacco. Creating blends is more than just mixing sheets in different proportions. There are techniques to develop a mixture, for example, cooking, roasting, pressing, mattering, etc. and can hardly be made at the shop counter. After five years, in 1912, his youngest brother, Herbert Edward Dunhill (1884-1950), joins the business<ref name=balfour11>Balfour, Michael. (1992).

He was an insightful merchant and is soon ahead of the company's financial issues (a function he exercises until his death on 8 November 1950<ref name=balfour12>Balfour, Michael. (1992).

Selon Balfour dans "Alfred Dunhill One Hundred Years And More", à l'origine les tabacs venaient de chez George Dobie & Sons, un fabricant de mélanges installé à Paisley, en Ecosse, à l'Ouest de la vallée des Midlands, et également de quelques coopératives qui produisaient du tabac.Fabriquer des mélanges, ce n'est pas seulement mélanger des feuilles dans différentes proportions. Il existe des techniques pour mettre au point un mélange, par exemple la cuisson, le rôtissage, le pressage,la maturation etc…, et c'est difficile à réaliser sur le comptoir d'une boutique. Au bout de cinq ans, en 1912, son plus jeune frère, Herbert Edward Dunhill (1884-1950), rejoignit l'affaire<ref name=balfour11>Balfour, Michael. (1992). Alfred Dunhill, One Hundred Years and More (pp.47-48). London, Weidenfield and Nicolson.</ref>). C'était un commerçant avisé et il s'occupa rapidement des aspects financiers de la compagnie (fonction qu'il occupa jusqu'à sa mort le 8 novembre 1950)<ref name=balfour12>Balfour, Michael. (1992).

Alfred was restless and always wanted to hone his products, taking him (in 1912) to leave the blends tailored in the background. This was when Alfred presented his own mixtures "in-house", they were: the "Royal Yacht" (Virginia), "Cuba" (Cigar Leaf) and "Durbar" (Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Virginia). Products acclaimed up to the present day<ref name=loring4>Loring, J. C. ('90s). Dunhill Pipe Tobacco: 1907 – 1990.
