If you're a lover of English Blends, this is a must-try tobacco. Dunhill is known for their high-quality, and for very good reason. Every time I open up a tin from Dunhill, the tobacco is always nice and moist without being too wet, which is perfect. To start off this review, this is a Latakia blend with some Virginias and Turkish tobaccos added. The strength would have to be medium to mild in my opinion. This stuff smokes cool. You can't get it to bite even if you tried.
Upon opening the tin (or bag), the aroma is great. That English spice from the Latakia is just great. It makes you want to stop whatever you're doing and pack a bowl right there and then. It packs nicely, and is best enjoyed in a large bowl. Upon lighting this tobacco, the mildness of this blend really becomes noticeable.
It is a really cool smoke and pleasant to all the senses. It's not so strong an English that it'll will chase women away, but you probably won't have too many coming up and complimenting you on how nice it smell, but this is true of virtually all English blends.
All in all this is a really delicious smoke. If I'm in the mood for a no-nonsense English, this is my go-to blend. The only think that this tobacco lacks is body. It has lots of flavor but until the very end of the bowl, the smoke has very little thickness and body to it, it feels pretty light, which is not my favorite thing in an English blend. If you smoke Virginias often, you'll notice how much more body they have compared to this English blend.
If you're in the mood for an overall pleasant English blend without too much complexity or fluff, this is the way to go. Cheers.
