Line 26: Line 26:




But Dunhill’s stockpile of accumulated briar was far too substantial to be seriously dented by an extra generous production of bent shapes in 1976 and Canadian shapes in 1978 and there were other considerations as well. First, the 1975 announced end of ODA production had not been well received in America. So given both American market and MBA/corporate demands a 1978 reintroduction of the entire large classic shape “Giant”/”ODA” line was a natural.  ''(Of course consistent with the end of its individual pipe shape numbering system, these ODAs were initially reintroduced without the traditional “800” pipe shape number stampings.)''
Mais les stocks de bruyère accumulés chez Dunhill étaient trop importants pour être sérieusement entamés par une production même assez forte de formes courbes en 1976 et de canadiennes en 1978, et il y avait également autre chose. D'abord, l'annonce en 1975 de la fin des ODA ne fut pas bien acceptée aux Etats-Unis. Ainsi à la fois du fait du marché américain et des demandes du management d'entreprise, la réintroduction en 1978 de la gamme entière des formes classiques Giant/ODA vint tout naturellement. (Bien sûr, du fait de la fin du système de numérotation spécifique par forme, ces ODA furent d'abord réintroduites sans le marquage traditionnel du numéro de forme "800".)


Second, Dunhill was hardly oblivious to the favorable impression Danish freehand pipes had made in America during the 1960s.  Indeed in the early 1970’s it had experimented at its Harcourt factory with plateau topped freehand bowls using preturned but hand finished stems.  (These were marketed as Dunhills with an “S/G” stamp.)  Nor of course was it unfamiliar with the popularity of its newly acquired Charatanline of Danish influenced English style free hands, i.e. the Distinction, Executive, Selected and Supreme.  So again in retrospect it was almost natural for Dunhill to begin Dunhill factory production in 1978 of the Collector line of free hand style pipes.
