1907 by Dunhill Robusto |
Back in February, we noted that Dunhill Cigars was releasing a new line called the 1907 by Dunhill. General Cigar Company, who distributes Dunhill announced that the 1907 by Dunhill will hit retailer shelves in May, 2014 and provided some additional context around the release.
The 1907 by Dunhill marks the first new brand in the Dunhill portfolio in nearly 13 years. It was back in 2001 where Dunhill released its last new brand, the Dunhill Signed Range.
According to Yves Politi who heads up (parent company) British American Tobacco Ltd’s Dunhill line, “Yves Politi, head of British American Tobacco Ltd.’s Dunhill cigar division said, “In the century since opening its flagship tobacco shop in London, Dunhill has remained synonymous with exquisite cigars in elegant packaging. 1907 celebrates the Dunhill brand’s time-honored tradition of tobacco mastery, while incorporating elements that speak to the modern cigar smoker’s passion points: a fuller taste profile, accessible pricing and classic sizing.”
