First own production introduced in 1910. Initially, Dunhill made pipes was a limited production straight grain pipe hand-cut from over century-old briar burls. Classified by a "'''B'''" (denoted highest quality pipe) becoming a "'''DR'''" (denoted straight-grained) and a classification marked by an "'''A'''" (denoted first quality), until early 1915. After that, they became a high-end subset to the Dunhill 'Bruyere'.
First own partial production introduced in 1910, but still using bowls shaped in France. In 1917 the Calabrian briar started to be used, but not completely. Only in 1920, Dunhill took the final step in its pipe making operation.
