Dunhill London Mixture
So here you're getting a second review in one day! May get a third since I'm trying to break in my new pipes and only smoking half a bowl in them.
Dunhill's London Mixture. I almost pulled the trigger on a tin of this this weekend. I'm actually glad I didn't. Got home and in the mail was a sample from sounds7! Can't really tell what it smells like. Seems when I get samples they all blend together and I have to seperate them for a while before I get a good tell on the aroma.
So we light up and start enjoying. Latakia comes up first. I think it's cyprian but it's actually not too bad. Maybe the turkish helps it. There's the pungent, leathery smokey flavors but there's tanginess as well. Flavors of licorice and pepper are there too. The virginias really take a back seat. They're there or it wouldn't be very balanced but just not prevalent.
I would say this is a good english blend for a beginner to english except for the bite. LM kinda bit a little and I didn't care for that. I've had far worse english blends but I've also had better. This is middle of the road for me.
It was.....well, let's just say it was.
