When Alfred Dunhill opened his shop on Duke Street in 1907 it was a tobacco shop. He was a tobacconist, or as he put it in his first catalog a “Mixture Specialist”, prominently displaying a sign in his shop window reading: “Tobacco Specialist”. But first and foremost Alfred Dunhill was a marketer and when he opened his tobacco shop he knew exactly where he wanted to go. In short order, however, he recognized that he had set his sights too low, this is a part of that story<ref name=loring4>Loring, J. C. ('90s). Dunhill Pipe Tobacco: 1907 – 1990.

Lorsqu'Alfred Dunhill ouvrit sa boutique de Duke Street en 1907 c'était une boutique de tabacs. Il était débitant de tabac, ou, ainsi qu'il l'écrivit dans son premier catalogue un "specialiste des mélanges (mixtures)", affichant ostensiblement un écriteau dans sa vitrine sur lequel on lisait "spécialist en tabacs". Mais d'abord et surtout Alfred Dunhill était un commerçant et lorsqu'il ouvrit son debit de tabac, il savait exactement où il voulait aller. Très vite, cependant, il reconnut qu'il avait mis la barre trop bas, et ceci fait partie de cette histoire<ref name=loring4>Loring, J. C. ('90s). Dunhill Pipe Tobacco: 1907 – 1990.

Initially, Dunhill sold a wide variety of pre-tinned and vacuum-packed tobacco made by any number of manufacturers. Alfred obtained tobaccos for his mixtures (have been carefully recorded in his My Mixture guide since 1907)  from George Dobie & Son of Paisley (a manufacturer of blends located in Paisley, west of the Midland Valley in Scotland) and the Tobacco Supply Syndicate (cooperatives).<ref name=loring4>Loring, J.
