The last of my +20 year old tin of Dunhill MM Dr Watson (ZT8005) in a Laurence Kothari half-bent billiard with a saddle-stem. It was hand mixed by Marc Burrows in the Dunhill store in Jermyn Street. No-one knows what's in the mix - there's no notes and no-one I've met can remember! Virginia, burley and perique definitely; there may have been a topping but if so it's now very, very faint. There's no mention of this blend anywhere and I think it was created for the evening event in which Marc blended it. Another sliver of the past fades away...
