The traditions of DUNHILL Tobacco House originate in 1907, when Alfred Dunhill opened his own store at the outstanding district of London Saint James on Duke Street. The tobacco store offered great variety of first class cigars and tobacco blends, including the individual recipes of purchasers. It was Saint James where at the beginning of XX century one can see famous clubs for gentlemen, where the art of cigar smoking was the principal thing. Soon, among regular customers were the representatives of British aristocracy. First cigarettes under cover of DUNHILL appeared in 1912, and in 1965 DUNHILL King Size also appeared.
