That is a great review. One of the best I've read. Well written and clear (and funny) it resonates because my experience with Elizabethan has been exactly the same. I dislike - -actually hate - it for the reasons Kyle mentioned (burning newspaper is an apt description). I still have half a tin jarred. Thanks to this review I will try it again and make an extra effort to go slow. I do tend towards the fast side, and enjoy big mouthfuls and plumes of smoke, which I know can be a problem, Will try it again at a snails pace. Although given the flavor profile and my general meh feeling about VaPers (much prefer latakia, aro crossover, and burley blends) I suspect that I will not grow to love it,

A couple of notes on the review. Peterson pipes and Peterson tobaccos are not the same company. STG owns the rights to the Peterson name for tobaccos. When they couldn't get BAT to agree to license the rights to the Dunhill name, STG reassigned the blends to the Peterson marque for the reboot. It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the label looks like the Dunhill labeling, STG bought the blend names and label art from BAT. BTW, Dunhill hasn't made tobacco since around 1980.
You're buying a clone. If you like the clone, excellent. My clonal preference is Sutliff Match Victoria, which is modeled after and pretty close to, the Murray's version of Elizabethan Mixture, the original Dunhill authorized clone.
Before I forget, allow me to add this bit of crucial information. Dunhill never made Navy Rolls. They were created by Murray's. Ok, I think I've covered everything.

Now for the review part:
Sutliff Match Victoria: It's good. Smoke it.

Thank you.

I actually like the newer STG product better. So it just depends!

I’ve only had the match Victorian and I actually enjoyed it.

Depends become more important as you get older. You'll see in another 6 weeks.

The current Peterson version is not at all like the Murray's version. Murray's had stoved Virginia, red Virginia and a very floral, spicy lemon Virginia. None of that is in the current production. The Viriginias used now are very grassy; not so of the Murray's. There was more spicy perique in the Murray's as well. As Sablebrush said, the Match Victorian was based on the Murray's and is much more reflective of the earlier production than what's currently in that nice, fancy tin.

can anyone chime in on like 2010- MM965 prior to the Peterson branding

Short and to the point. Excellent review!

Elizabethan was my first VaPer and it made me steer clear of them for years.

Match Victoria is fantastic and I have 3lbs in the cellar.

100%?.........I wasn't lucky to smoke Dunhill.But I don't like the quality of Peterson in variety general........................

I'm not a tobacco expert,but Ilike the more the work of C&D and GL Pease for example..............

Yes. I still have some jarred. I love it. Creamy smooth and smoky. It may have extra yum factor from its extended time in the jar, but it’s better than the later offerings, IMHO. But what do I know? I’m forever in the Grip of Granger.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Once I tried the match, the newer Dunhill/Peterson fell out of favor.

The same story. The Match is MUCH closer to the Murray/Dunhill. Obviously, there is not the same availability of ingredients as there was in the 70s/80s but, the Match is as close to taste as you can get.

I do have to give a +1 to the reviewer’s choice in tea and vodka.

 

[seanv]

The Sutliff match is pretty good. I like the current iteration of Elizabethan. It is good from the tin but magical after a few years

It is good to know that those remaining unopened tins might amount to something someday...

 

[PapeChulo]

Not too crazy about Elizabethan currently. I will have to give the Match Victoria a try.

@jiminks, Does Tobacco Reviews have a review of the Sutliff Victorian? I tried to find one , it must be hidden.
