Is Standard the Same as London

[Old_Newby]

I love several English blends from EMP, GasLight, Match Big Ben, etc. I read about Dunhill London Mixture but could not find it under the Peterson rebrand. Does anyone know if Peterson Standard is supposed to be the exact same blend?

Same manufacturer, STG, same production line, STG. The only change is the name printed on the label.

London Mixture is not the same as Standard Mixture (formerly known as Standard Mixture Medium) in any of the catalogs of yore (there was also Standard Mixture Mellow and Standard Mixture Full). The Standard Medium is just that, a medium English, plenty of turkish and latakia, pretty full stuff. London has that full thick "Dunhill" signature taste but it's built differently, I don't know enough about the ingredients to say exactly how, but I don't think london is either as outright campfire-ish or as pungently oriental in nature.

Which is really to say, London Mixture and Durbar didn't make it into the re-brand as far as I can tell.

Both very tasty blends. I love them.

London Mixture didn't make the transition to Peterson.
