Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture

[leparker]

I am not a tobacco reviewer but this is the only tobacco I've smoked that I loved from the first bowl. It is mild and good for a smoke anytime of the day. Lot's of reviewer have said there was not enough perique in it but I smoke other blends for perique. This one I smoke for pure enjoyment.

I'm aging my unopened tin a while. From the name, you'd think this was an English blend, but it's Va/per, and mostly Va.

I'm looking forward to it.

It surprised me at how much I liked it. I almost didn't try it because it received such lukewarm reviews - I'm glad I did because I love it. I have 10 tins in the cellar aging now.

It's a great smoke.

I am a fan of most of the Dunhill offerings but its a toss up between EMP and Elizabethan Mixture for my absolute favorite. I bought several tins of Elizabethan Mix when it first came out and didn't get around to trying it for quite a while. When I did crack that first tin, it disappeared rather quickly. Now its in rotation and smoked on a very regular basis.

Unless I know the reviewer and how his taste compares to mine, I totally ignore reviews ... chances are, whatever they have to say, for good or for bad, will bear no resemblance to my eventual opinion ...
I have an intolerance for cucumbers, for example ... were I to post a review on a cucumber site saying that they make me sick, that has no bearing at all on what your opinion of them might turn out to be ... we each have a taste profile that is pretty much unique to ourselves so forming any sort of pre-judgment based on the opinion of someone unknown to us is a real mistake ...
That said, I DO enjoy Dunhill Elizabethan ...

I actually wasn't head over heels about Elizabethan at first. But I let it sit in a mason jar over winter and found it quite enjoyable past the 6 month mark.

I bought 3 tins initially, 2 in the cellar. Will buy more with my next order. I smoke VAPER most of the time, but throw in a good English now and then for a change.

LOVE it. Hoarding it. Cellaring it. My local "Smoker Friendly" sells the tins for under $10 for some reason. So, whenever I'm bored and have an extra ten bucks, I'm in there picking up another tin! Haha

 

[drrock]

Was this the old version or the newer version of Elizabethan?

 

[leparker]

My understanding it's a newer version; but I may be wrong.

Dunhill may not make the most leading edge blends but I love the OO tin "smokability".

 

[edgreen]

I like Elizabethan Mixture and I like cucumbers, so...

 

[grouchydog]

ROFL! Add some bacon (smoked of course) and I'm in love...

 

[zekest]

Bout' the only good use for a cuke' says I.

Bought three tins, the first one seemed dry and harsh, maybe a bad tin, the other ones sre aging, will have to crack one soon. Liked Irish Oak better.

To those who have smoked both: how does Elizabethan compare to Navy Rolls? Both are Va/Pers, I prefer the ribbon cut Dunhills but if Navy is stronger (nic wise, taste wise) then maybe I would go with that.

 

[JimInks]

Navy Rolls is stronger and fuller in taste than Elizabethan. I'd easily recommended that over the new Elizabethan.

 

[olewaylon]

I also enjoy this blend along with another Dunhil blend that deosnt get a ton of good press (royal yacht)

 

[shutterbugg]

Navy Rolls is stronger and fuller in taste than Elizabethan. I'd easily recommended that over the new Elizabethan.

Thank you Jim. Navy rolls on order!
