Alright pipers, after waiting, and waiting and waiting, I can finally announce some news on the Dunhill front. Bottom line - it's coming back.
See the announcement on our internal site below. We have been working on this since day one. Basically, we always had the blends - since we make them - but we wanted to be able to use the designs and blend names as well. This has finally come to fruition. We won't be able to use the Dunhill name, but we will use another brand name (to be announced soon) and simply replace the word Dunhill.
As far as timing... hopefully we'll have product here by the end of the year.
"STG acquires a range of premium pipe tobacco brands and designs from Dunhill
Scandinavian Tobacco Group has closed a deal to acquire certain pipe tobacco trademarks and designs from Dunhill Tobacco Company of London Limited, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco p.l.c. Included in the deal are premium pipe tobacco trademarks such as Early Morning Pipe, Nightcap, Royal Yacht and Elizabethan Mixture that were previously sold under the Dunhill brand. The price paid is confidential, but immaterial.

Established in 1905, Dunhill Pipe Tobacco is synonymous with fine premium pipe tobacco. The company has been producing and selling pipe tobacco for over 100 years and is one of the most recognizable names in the pipe tobacco industry. The trademarks acquired carry a solid reputation and are recognized for consisting of complex blends that boast a premium positioning.
Scandinavian Tobacco Group will market the acquired trademarks as sub-brands to existing brands in the company’s portfolio. The acquisition strengthens Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s position in the premium pipe tobacco segment in important pipe tobacco markets such as the US, Germany and across Asia."

Are the former Dunhill grandfathered in, as they existed before 2007?
Or will they have to be re-submitted for approval?
"STG seems to be planning to re-release the former Dunhill blends under the Peterson brand"
yes, it’s true, we’ll be using the Peterson brand name. I was actually part of that decision process in May 2018
I wonder where they got the power point. Hell, I haven’t even seen this version of the document.
There is a clue in there somewhere.
Way to spoil the conspiracy theory.
