This is always welcome news. There’s been some talk on TobaccoReviews.com that the new Dunhill blends are better than ever before. That’s a nice turn of events because so often we hear about re-incarnations being a mere shadow of the former product.
The predictability of this kind of carping strains my credulity. To listen to the nay-sayers one would think that the blenders re-creating those old blends had no taste buds, let alone access to samples of the old labels; and that the critics’ memories are more trustworthy. I think it’s like “the good old days”, which really weren’t as good as we would like to remember them.
Can anyone compare the new Dunhill tobaccos to the old?
