Dunhill pipe tobacco soon to be gone?

It looks like the rumors that Dunhill is discontinuing their pipe tobacco and cigar products might be true. Back in January, Halfwheel.com posted the following article.

Dunhill Plans Exit From Cigar & Pipe Business
Charlie Minato
One of the most storied names in the world of cigars and pipes is going away.

Tobacco giant British American Tobacco is planning to no longer offer Dunhill cigars and pipe tobaccos.

“British American Tobacco (BAT) has informed us of their intention to exit the handmade cigar and pipe tobacco business for the Dunhill brands, said Régis Broersma, president of General Cigar Co., which makes Dunhill cigars and distributes them in the U.S.

“As this process will take approximately 12-18 months to complete, it will be business as usual; therefore, there will be no change to the way in which we manufacture, market and sell the Dunhill items in our portfolio in the near future. We are currently in talks with BAT to discuss the future of the brand.”

British American Tobacco has no plans to stop selling Dunhill tobacco products. Dunhill cigarettes remain a core part of the company’s premium offerings. BAT’s Dunhill business is different from the company’s luxury goods and accessories which is owned by the luxury group Richemont.

Earlier this week, British American Tobacco announced that it will merge with Reynolds American, creating the largest publicly-traded tobacco company in the world.
This week, Russ at pipesandcigars.com was sending the following message to customers ordering Dunhill pipe tobacco...

Quote:
"You've probably heard by now that all the Dunhill blends will be discontinued in the near future. We had no idea that this would be happening when we put together our calendar deals for this year, so if you're a Dunhill fan, you've caught a break because our March calendar deal is Buy 3, Get 1 Free on all Dunhill tins, and because of this email, we're going to extend it until April 4th, so you still have time to stock up!" P&C -Russ
Sure looks like rumors might be true. So sad.
