Dunhill question...

[mannyCA]

Hello to all, finally signed up after a year of lurking. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced extreme dry mouth after a bowl or two of Dunhill 965 and Early Morning? Or did I get a bad batch? Got some bulk and they both seem to leave me extremely parched. Any questions, ideas, suggestions?
Once again this is an excellent site.
thanks
Manny

Does it appear dry to the touch? Perhaps it just needs a bit of rehydrating. When I used to buy 965 in bulk at a B&M, it usually needed to be put in a large bowl with a moist paper towel over it for a few hours.

It does seem a bit dry, I'll try remoistening it and give it another shot.

I bought some "bulk 965" down in Florida a few weeks ago and it's OK but I doubted it was 965 after I smoked a few bowls. Given the absence of Dunhill anything in the US for so many months it is possible you're smoking something that is, maybe, possibly, not exactly 100% actually Dunhill tobacco. Hey. It happens, sad to say. I never heard of Dunhill drymouth before either but maybe that happens too.

If you're finding the bulk 965 sub-par after a little rehydration you might wander over to Stokkebyes Proper English. It is smooth, easy, very nice and not hardly light-years away from 965.

I saw some "Dunhill inspired" blends out there and was thinking the very same thing. Thanks for the referral.
I got this from DW Cigar AKA Lone Wolf Cigar in Santa Monica. Anyone have any experience with them?

Mister Moo, that faux 965 tasted great to me; perhaps one advantage of never having had the real Dunhill thing before. So again thanks for the gift.

I personally think that it may be the orientals in the blend rather than the moisture content...If you've never smoked a lot of lat or orientals those tend to give you dry mouth especially if you smoke hot. I don't know, just say'n.

English blends in general smoke a little dry IMO. I keep a bottle of water nearby if I become too parched. The bright side of this problem is no annoying spittle in the stem to have to deal with while smoking.
