A pack of DUNHILL International Lights for the American market.

DUNHILL cigarettes are a luxury brand of cigarettes made by the British American Tobacco company. They are usually priced above the average for cigarettes in the region where they are sold. They are exported mostly throughout Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, South Africa, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia, but can also be found on the Internet and in duty-free [1] and smoke shops throughout the United States and Indonesia, and more commonly in Canada.

DUNHILL Light cigarettes are packaged in a predominantly white packet, with a bevelled edged square of red in the centre. DUNHILL have decided to phase out this pack and have introduced marketing information that the blue box described below is the same cigarette although carbon monoxide levels and nicotine levels are altered.

DUNHILL International cigarettes come in a red packet and are one of the most expensive and luxurious cigarette brands available, they are made with all Virginia tobacco and are among the only DUNHILL cigarettes sold in the United States (along with the DUNHILL King size beveled packs which come in Full flavor, light and menthol light.) These are available through specialty tobacconist shops and can be bought at Phillips and King.

DUNHILL (minus the "International") are a more expensive version produced by BAT, and are sold in European (including Russian), Asian-Pacific, and Canadian markets.

DUNHILL cigarettes were notably favored by legendary gonzo journalist, Hunter S. Thompson, artist Robbie D and also English rock musician John Lennon.

It is a little known fact that DUNHILL International cigarettes American distribution is owned and operated by R. J. Reynolds, who are most notably famous for their Camel brand.
