What’s Your Fave Dunhill Blend?

[BriaronBoerum]

I'm biased towards University Flake because my day job is teaching college, but I also really like the plum topping on a burley blend.

RY kicked my ass the only time I tried it, but people whose taste I respect like it, so I'll probably try it again.

Sitting on tins of DNR and Va Flake, hoping they age well.

Late to the game here too, but of what I've tried:
3 Year Matured!
Ye Olde Signe (appreciated this more and more as the tin dried and dwindled)
The Aperitif

Also a fan of Peterson's effort with Royal Yacht, which always tests my sea legs.

Have a tin of Baby's Bottom I may get to yet this year..

London Mixture, Standard Mixture Medium, and Durbar were my go to blends for years. These were displaced partially by some of the GL Pease blends but still regulars in my line up until they disappeared.

only ever smoked the actual murrays made dunhill EMP. made me spin with nicotine. I almost threw up the first time i smoked it. But i was smoking it in what would have been a 15/16 diameter bowl, 1.5 deep. on empty stomach. Oh those were the days..

But honestly, I have played with some of the non dunhill inspired peterson blends and really wouldnt want to spend the money to see if modern
EMP was decent.

Standard Mixture and My Mixture 965 are my favorite all time tobaccos. I boycotted STG for a bit, but alas ...they pulled me back in. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

IRISH FLAKE..... What did I win??

 

[WerewolfOfLondon]

Not massively into em. But Flake I suppose.

Elizabethan Mixture is my #1, no doubt, followed closely by Royal Yacht.

That Navy Roll thing.

I’ve only ever gotten to try the Peterson versions, but I really like Nightcap.

I am a huge fan of the Dunhill/Peterson mixtures and cellared deep on my favorites when Dunhill announced they would no longer be made. Key for me are Durbar, London Mixture, The Aperitif, EMP, Royal Yacht, Elizabethan Mixture, and Standard Mixture.

It’s a crime they got rid of London Mixture.

I really miss London Mixture and Aperitif. I still enjoy the current versions of Elizabethan and Royal Yacht. I have not had Flake, 965 or Nightcap in probably ten or twelve years. How are the current incarnations of those blends?

I haven’t had the OG Dunhill 965, but the current Peterson is pretty tasty. The current Pete Nightcap is very good, though I’ve only had 2016 Dunhill to compare; since the vintage has mellowed quite a bit (especially the Latakia), the Peterson seems slightly sharper and more flavorful to my palate.

Thanks khiddy!

I really like Dunhill Flake , Royal Yacht and Elizabethian.

 

[metalheadycigarguy]

My favorites are Early Morning Pipe and Dunhill Flake. I've yet to try any of the blends labeled Peterson, as I still have several tins from the previous production line that still read Dunhill.

Sweet Killarney. I don’t smoke it often, but when I do, it hits the spot. I tried to like University Flake, really, I wanted to. But just doesn’t do anything for me.
