Just cracked my first tin of it and love it. I've always smoked bulk blends, primarily from Cornell and Diehl, and after picking up the pipe again after an absence of several years have started trying tinned blends. Pipes and Cigars had a buy 3 get one free Dunhill deal going so I bought a bunch of tins and London Mixture is one of them.
I'll be buying more of this, great stuff. The Latakia is there but isn't really that noticeable, kinda like pepper on my eggs, the Virginias are really sweet and tasty, and there is something different...I'm guessing it's the Orientals which really sets it off for me. A further plus is my wife commented that she likes the smell of it (she usually complains that my pipe stinks and doesn't smell like the cherry tobacco her Uncle Bud smoked when she was a kid). I'm really liking these Dunhill blends with the exception of Nightcap which I just can't seem to warm up to. London Mixture is a very lovely blend.
