Dunhill London Mixture

Great

The Dunhill London Mixture is not my cup of tea, but I am trying to keep a open mind about the flavor it is different then what I'm use to smoking.

Great

My favorite British blend. Flavorful and fragrant without overpowering the palate. Burns evenly. No nicotine buzz. A Dunhill classic.

Dunhill London Mixture is one of my favorite all time smoking tobacco. Love the flavor and the aroma of this satisfying and relaxing gem. Going to miss it when it's gone.

Nice smooth smoke but not a lot of flavor, or room aroma.

Prefer aromatics

Tin note reminded me a goood scotch. Enjoyed very much.

I enjoyed London MIxture. Smooth, mild and great smelling tobacco.

I’m not a tobacco expert but this is a anytime smoke. If your not sure what u want to fire up, just reach for London Mixure. Hits the spot morning noon or night.

Both are fine smokes. Neither is on my desert island short list. If I had to pick only one London may have a slight edge. The Knight was just a shade harsh on the throat.

Petty mild and smokes with mild bite.

I decided to try this one before it is discontinued with the Dunhill line. Glad I did. A well balanced English with strong Oriental overtones. It is very similar to many of the other Dunhill English blends I've tried and hard to differentiate from some of the others such as Durbar or Standard Mixture. There are subtle shades of distinction in the components but I'm not refined to enough to consistently tell them apart. Nevertheless, a good quality blend that I will be sad to see go.

Figured I'd try it since I got the offer for a $5 tin instead of $10. Does not have a pleasant smell when you open it. It's just not the experience I was looking for. I'll stick with the aromatic tobaccos. Now I have a whole can of this stuff I don't know what to do with.

It's full-bodied and spicy, but has almost no bite.

Dunhill London Mixture is an excellent mild blend. I really enjoy the Latakia and orientals that give this great taste. Burns well but not too hot. Stays lit well in my new pipe.

Strong tobacco

I've always been a sucker for Dunhill and their London Mixture is no exception! The Latakia's interplay with the sweet Virginia is beautiful and the added Turkish and Oriental tobaccos give the product a smooth balanced finish with no tongue bite to be had. Dunhill London Mixture manages to be rich, woody, smokey and yet, mellow all at the same time. The flavor is consistent and has never disappointed me and it's Ribbon Cut makes for an easy convenient smoke.

Very heavy and thick smoke the Early morning is more my choice best of both worlds

Found it enjoyable, will be buying agsin.

Long story short: a great blend. The grassy/hay like VA tends to the forefront and is slightly sweet, the latakia is in the backround and the orientals are perfectly balanced so as to offer a dry, smokey-sweet and spicy to the smoke. Very smooth, not a lat bomb at all. One of Dunhill's best blends.

Excellent service. Delivered a day earlier then scheduled.

Dunhill London Mixture is a classic—mild, flavorful, and smooth. My only fear is that Dunhill seems to be indicating that they are getting out of the tobacco business. It’s true that Dunhill tobaccos have been ‘licensed’ to other manufacturers for several years now, but they have tasted the same to me. Let’s hope they will not disappear!

Good tobacco! Similar to Standard Mixture, which I also like, but with more of the Oriental taste.

London Mixture has been my first pipe for a long time now. Mild but full-bodied, with just enough spice to make it interesting, it packs, lights and stays lit easily. Just the thing to accompany my first cup of coffee as I plan my day.

I have smoked London Mixture off and on for the past 30 years, and this still remains my favorite mild Balkan-style English. The orientals are forward in the blend while the Latakia stays pleasantly in the background. Cool smoking but slightly exotic, this Dunhill staple is a perfect introduction for the uninitiated who would like to venture into the world of English/Balkan tobaccos. But be forewarned: Do not get to addicted because it has been announced that British American Tobacco will be discontinuing all Dunhill pipe tobacco and cigar lines in 2018. This was just announced in February, 2017. So, unless there is another buyer for the Dunhill line down the pike, we can all say goodbye to these old and highly esteemed pipe tobaccos. Sad, so very sad.

Classic english, high end

This is a highly enjoyable blend. It will not bore you to death, but you will also keep your socks on. This is a blend I would consider reaching for at any time of the day. I would recommend this to any smoker, especially new pipers like me. Will buy more- when the wife allows!

I am a 20 year old steel eyed veteran pipe smoker, and only pipes. Dunhill is one of the worlds renowned pipe tobaccos. I may cost more per ounce than other brands, like Brigadier. But you do not get the high sugar content and bite that sugar causes. This is a very smooth, light once and burn to the bottom of the bowl quality pipe tobacco. I was first introduced to this brand 15 years ago, back then Dunhill was a litter harder to come by. It came highly recommend by my friend who actually is one of the designers and craftsman of the world famous meerschaum Pipes. I burns even, and does not flash your bowl, or clog up the shank and stem. For those veterans, you would appreciate the English Virginia and oriental blend, it has a unique bold aroma and taste which is most pleasing without all the added artificial infused flavors that seem to be popular now. I particularly love smoking this mixture while reading my favorite Sherlock Holmes and other mysteries. It seems to help draw out the historical nature of the 19th century.

This is my go to blend for an enjoyable smoke. It is mild enough to smoke all day. I try various blends and brands but always come back to this, my favorite!

When first trying this tobacco, I thought it was okay. It was smokey, a little sharp on the Turkish, slightly tangy on the Virginia. The flavor profiles for each fought for attention. I wasn't very impressed, but it was also straight from the tin with about 10 minutes of drying time. I let it meld and marry awhile, then tried it again. I often leave my Dunhill out for 5-10 minutes before packing it. The cut was perfect, as usual; Dunhill never disappoints there. The light was good, and the burn was exemplary. This time, the flavors united. The smokiness accentuated the tanginess of the Virginia, and the spice of the Turkish wasn't at the forefront so much as mildly playing on the tongue. The Latakia starts off light on the pull, and becomes more pronounced on the exhale, especially when retrohaling. This has become a favorite. It's perfect as part of a daily rotation or as an all-day smoke.

I like this mixture very much. It has good flavor and it is mild enough to be an all day smoke. I am going to order more soon.

Dunhill’s London Mixture has been my first go at an English latakia style tobacco blend, and I have really enjoyed it. To me the taste and aromas are reminiscent of campfire or bar be que smoke. I also taste a mild spiced flavor that comes and goes with the latakia smoke. I think that these spicy notes that mix with the smoke are really what makes this blend so pleasing. I feel like this mix of flavors keeps the smoking interesting throughout the bowl. Aside from the smoky aroma and flavors the tobacco burns rather cool and dry with a modest rate of puffing. I’ve never bitten my tongue on this nor had a wet bowl at the smokes end. The room note is very much like a wood fire, but not overpowering. I think this is a very good and interesting tobacco blend to smoke.

I got this as part of the Dunhill sampler. I've been smoking a pipe for a few years and, I like most of the English blends, and the aromatics. This particular blend however, is not for me. I neither like the smell nor the taste. I cellared this for a couple of years before popping open the tin.

A great all day smoke and a good first timer English.

I have just started smoking pipes and the Dunhill was my first experience. I have since discovered that I like the more aromatic flavors.

I could smoke this one all day. It's a great English blend with a nice tangy-ness held in check by the Virginias.

So after 32 years of smoking a pipe I finally purchased my first tin of Dunhill's famous "London Mixture". Described as "Medium cut, matured Virginian and Oriental Tobaccos. Soft and mellow flavor". The blend smokes relatively cool and burns down to a fine ash with no dottle. The pipe is left clean with no sticky wet residue So far I am ten bowls into the tin and I have been enjoying each one more and more. This is a blend that definitely requires a steeper learning curve than many other blends. The complexity of the orientals playing off the virginias against the background of latakia provides a smoking experience that takes many bowls to discover all of the various nuances of flavor it can provide. This is not a beginners blend by any means, but the seasoned pipe smoker will find many delightful adventures in this classic mixture.

My number 1 favorite! Love the tin note, love the taste and the room note is great. The orientals and the Latakia are fantastic. GL Pease Lagonda, Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding and Frog Morton's On The Town also have a some similar attributes if you would like to diversify a bit.

A wonderful all-day blend. I'm fond of mixing it 50/50 with Westminster for a truly sublime experience but can't imagine not having this on hand. Aging even short periods of time seem to improve it as well. 5 stars easily.

Very nice, albeit on the mild side, as an English blend smoker i find it an enjoyable alternative to my usual Latakia heavy blends. A very nice anytime smoke.

An "all time favorite". Smooth and mellow.

So. Dunhill tobaccos are excellent. All four of the tins I received were packed well, lit easily, and stayed burning throughout the smoke with minimal touchups. (Used my Peterson Irish Made Army #999) for each bowl. The only problem, and this is 100% on me and not the tobaccos; I don't like them. I've had experience with both English blends and Latakia heavy blends in the past, but these just don't seem to have any flavor. Again, this is personal preference. Great tobaccos, but not for me.

I think "mild" is the operant word for this blend. It is smooth and burns excellently leaving no aftertaste. I give it four stars rather than five because I would have preferred a bit of sweetness. If you like an easy-going latakia, this is your blend.

I love all the Dunhill tins, smoked them in the 70's. Your BB1938 is a real joy. Super smoothe and complete burn, no bite. Keep up the good work guys. I reserve my Sasieni 4 dot Dublin just for Dunhill, only in the evenings when life slows down!!

This is a very smooth, light and cool smoking English mixture, the pipe stayed lit with no problems. It took right off from the first light and I only had 1 ash dump and relight. you can taste the latakia but its not overpowering. This tasted delicious all the way to the bottom of the bowl. This is an excellent representation of the original. I'm definitely adding this to my rotation, probably as a morning smoke.
