H. Jones Easyloaders were made by Savory or Parker (under the Dunhill banner) for Tinder Box 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 been a reference to an "H. Jones" tobacconist in London active in the 1940s-1950s. | H.
