Robert Mcconnell Heritage/Dunhill blends

[peckinpahhombre]

Who knows, even if these blends aren't the same, they may even be better than the originals. Recall that Klondike Gold was Reiner Will's interpretation of Dunhill Flake, and in my view it was much better than Dunhill Flake. Fingers Crossed.

Seems like somewere between match blends and replicas? IDK. The proof will probably be, yet again, in the pudding as they say.
Will give a few of them a try, though I must say the tin art is a step down from the originals.

Wasn't that whole Brigham Legends series essentially a Dunhill-esque offering, with a very Nightcappish heavy lat/per blend, and a va/per etc all done very much in the Murray's sort of tradition?
I don't prefer Klondike to the recent Dunhill Flake, but it certainly was good.

Exactly Sasquatch. I admit I am a Klondike Gold whore. Love the stuff.

Not really looking forward to the Henry the 8th Mixture.

Are these blends distributed in the US?

Probably Kowloon, along with the freshly minted Bo Nordhs.

"Royal Island" sound like a sandwich spread.

Early bird :P

I can’t wait until they start copying the Standard Tobacco blends.
“Robert Rayon’s No. 7”

“Armed Conflict Mule”

“Beagle Slices”

I'm not getting my hopes up. Even if they come to the American market, Im guessing they'll be somewhat hard to stock up on. That's ok though. Better than nothing. Waiting to hear some official news.

I didn't find Dunhill blends of the past few years to be much like my first few years with them. Not that I didn't find a favorite or two in the mix. Some blends went south, some improved. Changes in leaf properties possibly. I suspect most of the change was attributable to my palate or, lack there of.
One tin of BB1938 and that's the last of Dunhill blends for me.

I doubt that those blends will reach the US. They would have to either prove that the blends are substantially equivalent to the current Dunhill offerings, or submit them for testing for the FDA. The cost to do that for all those blends would be ridiculous. Besides that, if Rattray's is any indication, they may not be able to meet demand.

I’m biding my time to trade my Royal Yacht straight up for some McClelland 40 th Anniversary.

 

[woodsroad]

Thank you, Russ.

 

[crashthegrey]

While that is seemingly unfortunate news, Russ, thank you for sharing the information. Better than pure speculation.

"Night Club" :crying: :rofl: What an anti-climactic end for the highly-respected granddaddy of latakia bombs!

Feller on another forum has a "source" that is telling him that these new Robert McConnell heritage Dunhill... things.. are actually being manufactured by STG and then sent to K&K.
Anyone have any info on this? If it were the case, then deeming shouldn't be an issue. Sounds like wishful thinking and it's the first I've heard of it.

Hi, Tom!

Why wouldn't the deeming rules be an issue?
