So, Canada's tobacco selection is not great. There are two companies under the brigham banner, Mr. B's and Legends. From what I can tell is that these blends are made by Sutliff and, basically, just have different labels and names. There are some Brigham blends that are supposed to mimic Dunhill's. I am wondering if anyone is aware of a list that shows how Sutliff blends correspond to the Brigham ones.

Corresponds? Like in what way?
Are you saying that Sutliff makes the Brigham blends?

yes. I have read that they are the same blends, just different names. I am wondering if someone knows which sutliff names correspond to the brigham names.
Brigham Wild Anatolia = Sutliff Wild Cherry
Brigham English Mixture = Sutliff 502 Medium English
Some of the Brigham branded stuff was made by Altadis which is now Sutliff, if I remember correctly.

I'm pretty sure the legend line is made by K&K in Germany
That's what I was told. The tins are just like the ones they use.
Legend line is/was made by KnK in Germany, blended by Rudiger Will (at least in the case of Klondike Gold). I don't remember all the names, I think Aurora Borealis was Nightcappish, and the Klondike was like LIght Flake. I don't find Klondike too similar to today's "Dunhill Flake" really.
I think that's what my tin of Ripley Avenue said on the back label, which I've long since removed. But Ripley Ave. is old Brigham, which you can't find in Canada anymore. I got my tin from SPC. ?
I have seen Ripley Avenue around (unless you want an older production).
One reason why I'd like to know the name translations of the Sutliff blends is to know if any of their match blends have made it to Canada. The Legends series appears to be Dunhill matches. But Sutliff makes a lot of other matches and Canada doesn't get many of those original blends.
Our local b&m has a complete listing. Next time I'm in I'll take a photo of the chart and send it to you.
Interesting. Teh Klondike Gold I have from year ago didn't taste anything like Dunhill Flake and the Hudson's Bay I have from years ago didn't taste anything like Royal Yacht. Meticulous blending??
