王者归来——Dunhill烟草将重现美国市场！！！
Dunhill Pipe Tobacco Returns to the US July 27th, 2010There have been rumors in the past, but this time it is true. We have it straight from British American Tobacco, the owners of the Dunhill Tobacco trademark - Dunhill Pipe Tobaccos will once again be available in the United States, most likely in September 2010.
Last week I was in Denmark with Sykes Wilford from SmokingPipes.com. Part of our trip consisted of touring the Orlik factory, which is one of the largest pipe tobacco factories in the world. Mr. Troels Mikkelsen, the Factory Manager, took Sykes and I on a tour of the factory. (We will have pictures and videos of the Orlik factory in future articles). During the factory tour he mentioned that they would start producing Dunhill Tobaccos in August for the US market, and suggested we get official word from headquarters.
He connected us with Mr. Richard Henger from BAT in Holland. We spoke to him on the phone and he confirmed that Dunhill was coming back to the States.
Today, we received word from Patrick Smith from BAT in Switzerland and he provided the following:
"No other pipe tobacco brand matches Dunhill’s sense of craftsmanship, heritage and tradition. The eclectic range we have chosen to re-launch comprises a number of classic blends such as ‘My Mixture’, which dates back to the days when personalized blends were created at the Dunhill shop. Of course, some of the variants in the range are allowed to express their unique personality and usage occasion through quirky and ephemeral design executions.
1. Dunhill Pipe Tobacco will be on show at the IPCPR Show in New Orleans in August and more fully available in September 2010.
2. The importer will be CAO, and discussions are finalizing in regards to prices.
3. The skus are attached."

大家欢呼吧，Dunhill 烟草高价时代一去不复返了！！！！！！！ 等国内能买到再说 没啥好欢呼的，如达人所说，如今的Dunhill与Murray以及Murray以前的Dunhill是完全不同的东西，如果可以换回以前的版本，我宁愿继续高价……不用像现在这样今天有明天无地去ebay上有一搭没一搭地标老草。 就我个人而言！我认为这还算是件大好事。好比现在的浅蓝色环保白沙8.5元与原先已经停产的12.5元的深蓝色盒的环保白沙相比完全不是一个档次的东西，抽过的人都深有感触！不过现在厂家就这样反正是停产了的品种，抽习惯了怎么也比5.5元的普通盖白沙强吧........ 小弟倒不完全同意楼上张兄的说法，就白沙而言，个人最喜欢的就是原来4块钱一包的软白沙，在小弟心里跟软中华基本是一个意思。环保白沙那个纸简直是太牛叉了，不知道得放多少助燃剂啊。
当然了，恢复生产还是好事儿，旷日持久的官司终于结束了。 没有什么值得庆贺的，965抽过murray的，也抽过orlik版，还抽过美国lane版，就差没有抽过duke版和现在的日本版；哦，忘了还有山寨版。
只能说，dunhill现在要真重新开始生产烟草的话，就只剩下这个商标了，二百多年的英国烟草传统已经式微，有些东西，不是说重新捡起来就可以捡起来的。 虽然身在“福”中，但对改得只剩商标的Dunhill没什么兴趣。 到中国后价格会很高,买不起 原来抽登喜路是因为价格便宜 味道说的过去
现在说来 味道过不去了 价格更过不去了
所以还是算了
随便来点别的抽抽 呵呵，其实，登喜路的烟草在欧洲一直没有断货。德国，西班牙，意大利都有，但价格不便宜，50g差不多12欧左右吧，国内的高价关键是因为渠道不畅。但是，美国要有货，网购渠道就便利多了，价钱也说得过去，50g的10美元左右吧。
至于质量吗，谁都不知道这次新的美国版到底如何，是不是？但我一直在抽欧洲版，也没觉得比以前美国市场的orlik版本差啊。至于更早的Murrey没抽过就不评论了，不过可以预见，国内接近200左右的价格将很快大幅下降。
恐怕除了那些在国内屯草高价待沽的以外，对广大斗客都算是个好消息吧。
