Toutefois, alors que les prix étaient réduits pour les armées, à la fin de la décennie, la Grande Guerre et ses conséquences avaient eu un impact sur les prix proposés aux civils avec les mélanges "My Mixture" à 19 shillings 8 pence la livre, les "Durbar", "Ye Olde Signe" et "Harmony" à 24 shillings 8 pence la livre, et les "Royal Yacht" et "Cuba" à 30 shillings 8 pence la livre.
Toutefois, alors que les prix étaient réduits pour les armées, à la fin de la décennie, la Grande Guerre et ses conséquences avaient eu un impact sur les prix proposés aux civils avec les mélanges "My Mixture" à 19 shillings 8 pence la livre, les "Durbar", "Ye Olde Signe" et "Harmony" à 24 shillings 8 pence la livre, et les "Royal Yacht" et "Cuba" à 30 shillings 8 pence la livre.


Prices continued to rapidly increase in the 1920’s and by 1923 the 24/8 mixtures were 28/8 and the 30/8 had increased to 34/8. These increases however, were somewhat alleviated by the introduction some lower priced ‘name’ blends at 20/- per lb: “Standard Mixture” (in all three Latakia strengths - mild, medium and full), a light matured Virginia, “Prince of Wales” and a Virginia “Three Year Matured”. One new 28/8 blend, “Super” which appears to have been a Virginia or Oriental, was also introduced in the early 1920’s. Then, save for the 1928 introduction of the Latakia/Cavendish “London Mixture” at 20/8 per lb, the blend card remained unchanged in terms of mixture and fairly stable in terms of pricing for more then a decade. In 1928 for instance:  “Standard Mixture”, “London Mixture”, “Three Year Matured” were all 20/8 per lb; all the “My Mixture” blends were 21/8 per lb; “Ye Olde Signe”, “Harmony” “Durbar” and “Super” were all 29/4 per lb; and “Royal Yacht” and “Cuba” were 35/4 per lb. By the mid (and late) 1930’s we find that the “My Mixture” blend price had been lowered slightly to 21/2 per lb and that the higher priced blends had been ‘rounded’ slightly higher to 30/- and 36/- .   (Two additional notes: First, the “Prince of Wales” mixture was specifically blended for and in honor of Edward, Prince of Wales as a ‘thank you’ for granting of his Royal Warrant in 1921. Somewhat surprisingly, that blend survived the subsequent and varied scandals of three decades and was not dropped from the line until the 1960s. Second, although never carried as a “Dunhill” product or at Dunhill shops, at least during the pre World War II period beginning in 1923 Dunhill wholesaled the Continental Tobacco Co/Philip Morris & Co blended ‘Barking Dog’ pipe tobacco mixture outside the US through its Parker subsidiary.)
Les prix continuèrent rapidement à grimper dans les années 20 et à partir de 1923 les mélanges à 24/8 (24 shillings 8 pence) passèrent à 28/8 (28 shillings 8 pence) et les mélanges à 30/8 (30 shillings 8 pence) étaient montés à 34/8 (34 shillings 8 pence). Cette augmentation, toutefois, fut quelque peu compensée par le lancement de quelques "blends" de marque à des prix inférieurs à 20 / (20 shillings) la livre : Standard Mixture” (avec plus ou moins de Latakia suivant le mélange - mild, medium et full), un Virginia légèrement vieilli  le "Prince of Wales" et un Virginia " Three Year Matured” (Vielli trois ans). Un nouvel assemblage à 28/8 (28 shillings 8 pence) le "Super", qui semble avoir été un Virginia ou un Oriental, fut également introduit au début des années 1920. Ensuite, excepté le lancement en 1928 du mélange Latakia /Cavendish "London Mixture" à 20/8 (20 shilling 8 pence) la livre, l'offre des tabacs resta inchangée en terme de mélanges proposés et assez stable en terme de tarifs pendant plus d'une décennie. En 1928 par exemple, les “Standard Mixture”, “London Mixture”, “Three Year Matured” étaient tous à  20/8 (20 shillings 8 pence) la livre; tous les "My Mixture" étaient à 21/8 la livre; Ye Olde Signe”, “Harmony” “Durbar” et “Super” étaient tous à  29/4 la livre; et le  “Royal Yacht” et le  “Cuba” étaient à  35/4 la livre. Au milieu (et à la fin) des années 30, nous voyons que le prix des "My Mixture a été légèrement baissé  à 21/2 la livre et que les mélanges les plus chers ont été légèrement "arrondis" au chiffre  supérieur à 30/ (30 shillings) et 36/ (36 shillings). Deux notes additionnelles : tout d'abord le mélange “Prince of Wales” fut spécialement assemblé pour et en l'honneur d'Edward, Prince de Galles à titre de remerciement pour son Royal Warrant (Mandat Royal de 1921).De façon surprenante, ce blend survécut aux scandales successifs et variés de trois décennies et n'a pas été retiré de la gamme avant les années 60. Ensuite, et bien que jamais proposé en tant que produit "Dunhill" ou dans les boutiques Dunhill, au moins pendant la période précédant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, à partir de 1923, Dunhill a vendu en gros le mélange pour pipe  "Barking Dog" de la Continental Tobacco Co/Philip Morris & Co hors des USA par le biais de sa filiale Parker.


In 1936 “Throgmorton” and “Old Colonial” (blend types unknown) were introduced, as was “Twist” (referred to as “Negro Head Twist” in 1938) which was sold in the form of three twisted rolls, either sliced or unsliced.  Also in the late 1930s Dunhill bought the assets of  the Savory tobacco shop, including two Oriental blends “Baby’s Bottom” and “Savory’s Mixture” as well a third, straight Virginia “Baby’s Bottom” blend.  I lack English pricing data for the Savory tobacco additions but in the United States, “Baby’s Bottom” was priced in line with “Standard Mixture” and “Savory Mixture” 20% below  making “Savory Mixture” the then least expensive Dunhill ‘name’ blend tobacco. “Throgmorton” was named after the second Dunhill London “City” store (1923 – 1946).  “Old Colonial” was a blend of tobaccos from the then British empire intended to take advantage of lower import duties on those tobaccos thus allowing for significantly lower pricing, 24/- per lb, although not as low as the “My Mixtures” or “Standard Mixture” or, one can assume, “Savory’s Mixture”.  It might also be noted that while several ‘name’ blends were added to the line card between 1912 and World War II, none were dropped.  With the coming of the Second World War however, that was to change.
