***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***
Just lit a bowl of C&D Five O’Clock Shadow in the Mario Pascucci -P Rust –2127. Dark, brooding, slightly sweet Virginia-sweet with that signature Cornell & Diehl musty depth… perfect smoke for a quiet evening. To all my American brothers across the pond: Happy Thanksgiving, gentlemen! May your...- Benedict Munsinger

Thanks, Paul — really appreciate that, mate! All good here, thanks for asking. No Thanksgiving across the pond of course, but I’ll happily raise a bowl (and a pint) to the long weekend spirit anyway — feels like the perfect excuse to fire up something strong and celebrate the fact Friday is...- Benedict Munsinger

My God, how long ago that was — an entire era of Murray is gone now and has become a legend. 🕰️ When Murray took over the production of Dunhill blends in the early 1980s, it was truly a golden age for many of us. So yes — enjoy it, my friend. I am genuinely glad that there are still people among...- Benedict Munsinger

Peterson just dropped the new Cobble series. They went all-in trying to nail that raw, early-20th-century English blast look, but cranked the texture up to proper “rough-as-hell” levels. Reworked the rustication and blasting process from the ground up — serious changes, but the end result is...- Benedict Munsinger

Luciano Virgin Sandblast Chubby Dublin (GL Pease/Di Piazza Design 2014). I’ll be honest — I’ve fallen in love with this blend. RMC Oxford Street works well in any pipe and isn’t finicky at all. RMC positions it as an analogue of Dunhill Standard Mixture Mellow. I barely remember that blend — it...- Benedict Munsinger

And yes — RMC Barking Road is simply superb. The balance of Burley and Virginia is absolutely perfect.- Benedict Munsinger

So, no, I wouldn’t say the McConnell Heritage versions are “superior” or even necessarily “more accurate” than what Peterson is currently releasing under the original Dunhill names. These Heritage blends are first and foremost a respectful tribute: Kohlhase & Kopp did everything they could to...- Benedict Munsinger

This is exactly why I turned my attention to the Robert McConnell Heritage line made by Kohlhase & Kopp in Germany — a series that absorbed the best of Alfred Dunhill’s rich tobacco legacy and was launched in July 2019. It originally consisted of 18 blends: - Dunhill Aperitif → St. James Park...- Benedict Munsinger

Wow, that’s an impressive Dunhill stash! It’s always a pleasure to see someone who managed to hold onto those classics. Not many people can open their cellar and pull out blends of that caliber anymore. Enjoy them — treasures like that deserve to be smoked, not just stored.- Benedict Munsinger

(this post is taken from another forum thread, but I think it's on topic) Opened a tin of RMC Oxford Street — the aroma is stunning, a clean prune/black plum note right out of the gate.

Mario Pascucci -P Rust-2136 (horn ring). Finishing off a tin of RMC Boutique Blend — and I think it’s time to say goodbye to this mixture. I’m past the age where I feel like running experiments. Tried it in different pipes, played with packing density, the whole routine. Even when dried out...- Benedict Munsinger
