'''Hand Blended Tobaccos List'''<br>At first, the focus was on tobaccos. As he defined in his first catalog, published in 1910, called "About Smoke", he was an expert in making blends, which he exhibited prominently in his entry window: "Tobacco specialist" '''See more about it''' [https://pipedia.org/images/e/ee/Dunhill_Handblended_Tobaccos.pdf here]. | |||

<font size="2">'''Addendum:''' As Arno van Goor reports in his article, "De Graaff tobacconist" (published in 2018), at some point, Dunhill also made blends for others. In The Netherlands was a tobacconist named "De Graaf". They had excellent house-blends but were discontinued at the end of the 1990s, early 2000s. These De Graaf mixtures were produced by Dunhill at the Dunhill Duke Street shop. (After the first transition, Dunhill Duke Street shop continued to offer custom blending for the next two decades and as part of that continuation, a small batch blender in London continued to produce a number of My Mixture blends, available only from the Duke Street shop).<ref name=arno>Goor, van Arno (2018).
