Are there other places I should look for early history on blends? http://loringpage.com/pipearticles/duntob1.htm
Dunhill's first pre-packaged ‘name’ blends were “Royal Yacht”, “Cuba” and “Durbar”
early catalogs through 1912 include the full range of what we consider today to be the English style blends, from matured Virginias such as “Royal Yacht” and “My Mixture #288”, to straight Virginias such as “#36” and “#190”, Oriental blends such as “Durbar”, “#1”, “#28”, “#108”, “#187”, and “#850”, Latakia blends such as “#10” and “#965”
