<blockquote><q>Dunhill is famous for its oil curing techniques and this is believed to be a source of its peculiar and particular taste and flavor characteristics. On the surface this sounds quite neat and tidy. But just a bit of analysis immediately makes such claims quite suspect. Does every Dunhill have that same character? I could find no evidence for this in the tastings that I have done with Dunhills. One vital question concerns when a particular Dunhill pipe was made. Bill Taylor of Ashton pipe fame has remarked that during all the twenty-plus years that he worked for Dunhill, that he never observed any oil applied to a Dunhill bowl. David Field told me on two occasions that he is convinced that oil curing stopped after 1968 and after that Dunhill pipes were quite different. Thus, Dunhills after the mid-1960s do not appear to have been oil cured at all and, on top of that, their bowls seem to have come from different suppliers.</q> Dr Fred Hanna. <ref name=hanna>Hanna, Fred.

<blockquote><q>Dunhill est célèbre pour ses techniques de traitement à l'huile et elles sont censées apporter un goût et une saveur proprement particulière. En apparence, ça semble propre et net. Mais avec un peu de réflexion, ce genre de revendication  apparait vite suspect. Toutes les Dunhill ont- elles les mêmes caractéristiques? Je n'en ai pas trouvé la preuve avec les Dunhill que j'ai goûtées. Unequestion de première importance quand  une Dunhill particulière était crée.Bill Taylor des célèbres pipes Ashton a remarqué que durant plus d'une vingtaine d'années qu'il a travaillé chez Dunhill, il n'a jamais vu qu'on ait appliqué de l'huile sur les têtes de pipe. David Field m'a dit en deux occasions qu'il était convaincu que le traitement à l'huile a été arrêté après 1968 et qu'après ça les Dunhill étaient devenues nettement différentes. Ainsi, après le milieu des années 60, les Dunhill ne semblent plus du tout avoir été traitées à l'huile et, pour couronner le tout, les têtes semblent être venues de fournisseurs différents.</q> Dr Fred Hanna. <ref name=hanna>Hanna, Fred.

In 1967, Carreras Ltd (Rothmans International at the time - then in 1999 Rothmans was acquired by British American Tobacco<ref name=nwtbat>Edmund L. Andrews (1999). "International Business: British American Tobacco Will Buy Rothmans - New York Times".

(1992). Alfred Dunhill, One Hundred Years and More (pp. 234-236). London, Weidenfield and Nicolson.</ref>. Is it possible that this new council has defined any administrative measures that have influenced the production of the subsequent products? We have signs of transition in that period, but we don't know if it was for that reason, but it is a possibility that it cannot be ruled out. It is also a period that the company begins to reposition itself in the market with male accessories, leaving tobacco-related products in the background.

Il y a  des signes de changement à cette époque, nous ne savons pas si c'est pour cette raison, mais on ne peut pas en évacuer la possibilité. C'est également l'époque à laquelle la compagnie commença à revoir son positionnement sur le marché en développant les accessoires masculins, laissant à l'arrière plan les produits liés au tabac.

Our whole distribution arrangements now had to be reorganized. The result was the formation of five different product divisions, each independent with its own management, design team, and sales force, and the appointment of different agents for each range. The consequence of this well-planned expansion programme has been dramatic: the previous core business of smokers’ products represented 95% of our sales and profits, with the other 5% being gift merchandise. Now the profile is the reverse.'''[[File:Aspas.png|40px]] Richard Dunhill.<ref name=balfour21>Balfour, Michael. (1992). Alfred Dunhill, One Hundred Years and More, Introduction (pp.7-11).
