Has anyone tried both the Charatan and Peterson Dunhill blends? Is one better than the other?
What are your thoughts? I've a tin of the Charatan EMP but I've not opened it yet. Prob won't for a while.

Prob won't for a while. The only difference between the Peterson and Dunhill blends is the label if that helps. Still made in the same facility as before the change. |

The Charatan match mixtures popped up soon after BAT/Dunhill announced they were leaving the pipe tobacco/cigar market. I don't know who made them K&K, Planta or ?? but I thought they got a Cease and Desist pretty quick for trademark infringement. I don't think they ever made it over here in the states. I'd get a tin of the STG version of the Dunhill/Peterson EMP and do a side by side.  |

They're still for sale over here but that might be only because there's stock to sell. They may indeed have stopped production. I suppose what I need to do is get myself a tin from both and see for myself... |

As far as the previous STG version vs. Peterson... I just started a Peterson tin back to back with an STG tin I finished recently, and found no difference in flavor, burn, etc. To my buds, they are the same thing.Pure deliciousness!!

Considering that so many blends that are reintroduced that are a shadow of the former, that is great news! Ask anyone that smoked the old 3 nuns compared to the current version. |

The older version is usually the better one, it's the control in our experiment/mind!
