All of my Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls are from 2011-2012. All of my Escudo is from 2012. In my opinion The Escudo is more peppery and the Dunhill is sweeter and smoother. The Escudo also gets creamier as it ages and luckily I have never tasted grass or hey as I hate those flavors and never would have gone deep on either one had those flavors been present.
