Oh No, New Pipe Smoker and Dunhill Is Gone

[oldbaccy]

Next order will have the Ashton Artisan Blend and from there I'll move onto something with some kick.

I read Haunted bookshelf and ten russians should fit the bill.
Appreciate the suggestions, thanks again. Tobacco review is an awesome site!

That’s a fantastic start. Many of those blends are my favorites.
Artisan’s Blend and Ten Russians are definitely in my top 5 and Haunted Bookshop is a nicotine bomb. If you like strong burleys like Haunted Bookshop then I’ll also recommend Old Joe Krantz.
Looking forward to your impressions.

 

[redglow]

Nice work! That'll get ya going. Those are some good Dunhill mixtures. And the GL Pease blends will definitely satisfy.
You'll be surprised how quickly the cellar builds up with fine quality tobacco! ::

[oldbaccy]

Adding Old Joe Krantz to the wish list. No, unfortunately I didn't know about the coupon code.

Just saw the info on the code and my better half said I must place another order so I guess it's shopping time, long as she's ok with it I am.
Here's what I'm about to click to the buy button on (this time with the coupon code, thanks guys):

You can probably call them tomorrow and ask if they'll apply the discount to your order. P&C is good about things like that.

 

[oldbaccy]

Sorry that looks messy but it's copy/paste from the receipt.

Ordered the bits/stems to tinker with on the metal lathe (found some cheap briar pipes on etsy.com to experiment on).
Don't think I can get the discount on the previous order (was placed on the 28th).
My only concern is the summertime temps here are quite hot and it can easily get to 85 degrees in the room I have my tobacco in.

For the cigars I have a wideador cooler/fridge but I know nothing about storing pipe tobacco.
Should I be concerned about mold and beetles with pipe tobacco?

OldBaccy - Hoping you did not forget to get samples of Match My Mixture 965 (now Match 20) and Match Early Morning Pipe; to go along with your Match Nightcap. Due to the reality and timing, the Match line could be considered just as legitimately "official" as the latest iteration of Dunill was; for as our wise-and-wonderful friend, Sablebrush52, had already said: "You missed Dunhill by nearly 40 years." - Sherm Natman

 

[oldbaccy]

Yes sir, got 'em.

I'm glad you went to tobaccoreviews.com. it is a godsend when tobacco curious strikes.

 

[Chasing Embers]

For the cigars I have a wideador cooler/fridge but I know nothing about storing pipe tobacco.

Just stick them in mason jars and leave them out of daylight.

Should I be concerned about mold and beetles with pipe tobacco?

Mold happens in the best of conditions so try to keep everything as clean as possible when jarring. If be more concerned about tobacco spiders than beetles.

r, you and I are of the Dunhill Will Return school. I will be surprised if a sale or licensing deal doesn't emerge to keep the brand, if not all the blends in their present form, alive. People spend endless amounts of money building brand and name recognition. To leave this one on the table seems almost comical in terms of current marketing and business practices, so I'm still waiting for the big comeback tour re-opening sequel of Dunhill blends. Of course after a respectful period of trying the newly issued product, everyone will sing in choral response, these are nothing like the blends we knew. Meanwhile, the other brands and blends that didn't go out of production will still be mighty fine.

 

[jpmcwjr]

The name may reappear, but the original (good) Dunhill tobaccos are now but a pipe dream, pun intended.

 

[hiplainsdrifter]

965 is the first 'real' pipe tobacco I smoked. I wasn't a fan. Latakia is kind of an aquired taste. I like it in moderation now. If you want to try a classic British blend I suggest something with light Latakia and more orientals, what is often called a Balkan blend.

 

[shermnatman]

Jpmcwjr - Good one! :rofl: - Sherm Natman

 

[ashdigger]

Dunhill will return

I doubt it. If it does it with be called something other that Dunhill. The brand is going out if its way to differentiate itseld from all things tobacco.

 

[chuckyeageronlsd]

I'm actually less concerned with dunhill and MC than with the death of the tobacconist. Sure there's cigar shops, but many have no clue about the product they carry and know even less about pipe tobacco. That's if they even carry anything other than generic bulk aros. :evil:

 

[gerryp]

G.L. Pease Westminster is, for me, very close to London Mixture. In fact it's probably a bit better.
If you like MM965 and/or The Aperitif (both considered Scottish blends), try Rattray's Black Mallory.
