What's Your Opinion About Peterson's 'Dunhill'

EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title - Bob

Hi mates,

The whole range of Dunhill was being discontinued in the UK in 2017, while some popular selections of Dunhill even became unavailable back to 2016. Just a month ago, Peterson released the Dunhill range with the Peterson trademark on them and they claim that they use the OLD Dunhill's recipe (early morning, flake, nightcap, Royal Yacht and Navy roll). I always like the Peterson such as Irish Flake and University Flake. I think the University flake is better than MB Old Dark Fired in somehow.

Did you ever tried Peterson's Dunhill and would you like to say you like it? Are they the same?

What do you think about nightcap, early morning, Royal Yacht and others? How was their taste?
See the pics only, Peterson has the tin as the Dunhills' at least.

Same blends made by the same people with the same tobacco on the same machines in the same facility in the same tins. Only difference is the label and some speculate that production never stopped but output continued under the new banner.

Let's try this again.
STG (or a subsidiary) was blending the Dunhill blends ever since Murray stopped doing it, back in 2008.
Then the Dunhill parent company cut those blends.
STG negotiated with Dunhill parent company, and got a license to blend them under the Peterson name.
They are blended in the same factory, on the same machines. Different label. No change at all.

My recent experience with My Mixture 965 (my daily blend for ten years) - the same.
I posted this thread:

Peterson's My Mixture 965 :: Pipe Tobacco Reviews

I never do tobacco reviews, well, mostly because I only smoke MM965. I stopped at JB Hayes today in Winchester VA and he had the new Peterson production (which the shop owner said was oddly somewhat restricted in quantity). The blend looks like, smells like and smokes just like the previous...

Dunhill Early Morning Pipe was best at 7:36am with an Ecuador City roast pourover at 195°F.

Peterson Early Morning Pipe is best at 7:42am with a Sumatran Full City roast French press At 185°F.

They are obviously much different blends.

What kind of pour over, sir? A paper chemex strips sthe oil and will this change the perceived flavour of the blend, where as a v60 leaves much more oil in the coffee. It’s night and day when comparing blends.

You got me, it was a chemex. But I used a 6mm balsa filter in the pipe to balance out the loss of oils.

Hate to tell you this, but the OLD Dunhill's recipe hasn't been used since the early 1980's. Murray's changed them, Orlik and STG changed those.
But if you're referring to the STG recipes, those haven't changed. Same manufacturer, same production line, same suppliers. Label's a little different.
