H. Jones Easyloaders were made by Savory or Parker (under the Dunhill banner) in the 1970s-1980s. They were "Easyloaders" because of their dramatically beveled rims, allowing for the pipe smoker to easily load their tobacco in preparation for a smoke. The H. Jones moniker may have come from an "H. Jones" tobacconist in London active in the 1940s-1950s.
