Yes...the three Dunhill blends sold in bulk in the U.S. are made by Lane. They are o.k. but don't taste as complex as the tinned versions.
I have purchased some bulk versions of MacBarens that didn't seem as good either. Also the CAO / Dan's such as Durbar, etc. are somehow a little different in the 8 oz. packs compared to the tins.
Also there is a thought out that "if it's not good enough to market in tins, it is sold in bulk". Or something to that effect. In the Gawith & Hoggarth flakes the bulk versions seem to be as good as the tinned stuff.
