A match to the original Dunhill My Mixture 965. This traditional "Scottish" blend uses choice Virginias, exotic Turkish Orientals, smoky Cyprian Latakia and a bit of slightly-sweet brown Cavendish to make a superbly balanced and enjoyable experience. For Dunhill fans who are concerned about the disappearance of this legendary blend, you'll always have MATCH - My Mixture 965.
Man – I’ve read so much about this tobacco (OK more about Dunhill 965) I’m a big fan of both Dunhill and Match Early Morning Pipe, but 965 has left me flat. I did not find anything special about it. Perhaps I’ll let it sit for a while or maybe try the Dunhill brand.
Very impressed with the balanced flavor and smoothness. Smoky latakia in opening light settling to a persistent smokiness balanced but a hazelnut and toasty aroma. No bite. Not too light or heavy with nicotine. Disclaimer, I have not smoked the dunhill 965, but this blend is excellent mixture that deserves praise in its own right.
This is a "kinder, gentler" knockoff of Dunhill My Mixture 965. In the descriptions here on P&C, the Dunhill tobacco gets four diamonds in the strength-rating, this only two. That may be overstating the difference just a little. Sometimes I used to cut the DMM965 with something less brash. Never necessary with this stuff. So I prefer this knockoff to the original. The taste is quite similar, but turned down a click or two. And the price is better too.
This is one tobacco that I keep coming back to... Absolutely nothing negative about it. Highly recommend .
