I've been sitting on a few tins and decided after 1 year of age to finally try it. Especially, with at the time of this review, that the Dunhill blends are going away...again. If this does occur and if it turned out I loved the blend I would still have time to cellar some.
The cut is the typical Dunhill, a nice ribbon, very easy to pack and moisture content right out of tin was perfect.
The tin note reminded me of a cross of Elizabethan Mixture and Early Morning Pipe with a little more fruit like raisin aroma. A little citrusy/grassy and a little spice also is there.
Lights very easy. The smoke is medium all around for me, flavor, taste and nicotine. However, the nic hit can a little more than medium, especially on empty stomach, but not unpleasant.
The Virginia's come through nicely with a light grassy taste I get more of a raisin and spice flavor in the smoke. It tastes close to how it smells in the tin to me.
It is a nice richer type of smoke, but nothing that knocked my socks off frankly. It's good and understand the following.
I have 3 tins cellared and will likely not add to it.
It certainly is nothing like I have tried so far, so not currently aware of a true match at this time.
So if you try it and like you should stock up "just in case".
For me it is a good smoke, but at this time I am in the "smoke what I have and not cellar" camp.
