Thanks for the link. The site does leave one wondering if the whole announcement of the resurrection Dunhill branded blends is a fake. They don't list Peterson as a brand that they own. Borkum Riff, sure. Peterson, what's that?

The site attempts to distill much, both history and current knowledge into a few quick moments e.g., see below. Below is a categorization I don't care for!

Still, worth a quick visit. Videos are professional and very short.
Four blends
Dutch blend

The blend has a very pure tobacco flavour. It is dry and harsh and comes from dark-fired and Virginia tobacco.

Sometimes the blend includes a minor amount of spice tobaccos - Flavour characteristics: Genuine, spicy.
English blend

The blend is full-bodied, moist and contains spice tobaccos.

Sometimes it has fruit and/or flower flavouring - Flavour characteristics: Spicy.
Scandinavian blend

The blend is mellow to medium-bodied. It is flavoured with liqueur, fruits, vanilla and/or many other flavours.

Occasionally, spice tobaccos are added - Flavour characteristics: Spicy, sweet, fruity, liqueur.
American blend

This blend is mellow and very moist. It is heavily flavoured with vanilla, nougat, cherry and/or occasionally other flavours - Flavour characteristics: Sweet, fruity, liqueur.
