[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 481334, member: 2403"] From what understand, BAT owns the rights to the Dunhill tobacco name only and not the luxury goods side of it. The industry folks seem to think that BAT's decision to discontinue the pipe tobaccos is about profit vs. risk and that they probably won't sell the rights to the name because the Dunhill cigarette line is still a cash cow for them as they're actually involved in the production side, obviously they're not with the pipe tobaccos where Orlik is licensed to use the name on their products. Cool Smoke does have a valid point in that smoking is becoming more and more marginalized, but BAT is big tobacco and not trying to distance themselves from the name, only the less profitable arrangement with Orlik, in a risk/reward sense. One could surmise, that if BAT is going to be associated with a product that carries a health risk, they want control of that product, and they don't do pipe tobacco and have no interest in doing pipe tobacco.
