<blockquote><q>He had continued to make headway as a tobacco blender, though, until 1910, he was still without a pipe to do justice to the quality of his blends. The calabash and finely carved meerschaum pipes in his showcases were too fragile for everyday use, and customers had long been complaining about the taste of the cheaply varnished Algerian briars which, as I pointed out, were about all any tobacconist had to offer.</q> Mary Dunhill <ref name=mary15>Dunhill, Mary (1979).

<blockquote><q>Il avait continué à progresser comme 'tobacco blender' (fabricant de mélanges de tabac) bien que, jusqu'en 1910, il n'ait toujours pas la pipe qui rendrait justice à la qualité de ses mélanges. Les calabash et les écumes finement sculptées dans ses vitrines étaient trop fragiles pour tous les jours et les clients se plaignaient depuis longtemps du goût des bruyères algériennes vernies à bon marché qui, comme je l'ai déjà dit, étaient à peu près tout ce que n'importe quel débitant de tabac pouvait offrir</q> Mary Dunhill <ref name=mary15>Dunhill, Mary (1979). Our Family Business (p. 39). Great Britain, The Bodley Head.</ref></blockquote>  


Alfred doesn't mention to anyone, Mary reports, but he was investigating the pipe maker's craft from end to end</q> Mary Dunhill <ref name=mary15>Dunhill, Mary (1979). Our Family Business (p. 39). Great Britain, The Bodley Head.</ref>. Alfred Dunhill enticed Joel Sasieni away from Charatan (including Joe Sasieni who was to form his own distinguished pipe company in 1918. The first five Dunhill pipemakers all came from Charatan) and opened a small pipe workshop of his own at 28 Duke St on 7 March 1910. - two rooms upstairs providing the humble beginning. The focus was to use the finest quality briar, and expert craftsmanship to make pipes that would provide a superior smoke, and last a lifetime. The cost would reflect these principals, which was against the current trend of inexpensive pipes of lesser quality (the Bruyere finish is first introduced).
