Peterson Standard Mixture Medium (Original)

My new go to tobacco. An enjoyable smoke.

Wonderful tobacco. Goes well with everything!

Just plain enjoyable.

Simple favorite. Tried a lot of different brands but this is my favorite by far.

A true everyday English. Although by no means boring or bland — there can be no mistaking this for anything other than a professionally-tuned blend with premium leaf — it has a certain economy to its mix of the familiar English spices and tangs. Each representative modestly presents itself at once and enunciates itself clearly. It is straightforward, well spoken and to the point, wasting no effort on anything that may be labeled as exotic or unorthodox. It’s politeness of flavor is well paired with its politeness of smoking, though this aspect is of course based on myself and my own smoking habits, which would be best described as dog-like. It lights well, smokes as it should all throughout, doesn’t bite unless I want it to, meekly and quietly goes out when I wish for a break, lights again no complaints and basically tastes as though it had never gone cold. Though its not exactly a cool puffer it’s certainly not a roaster, and will *usually* put up with a moderate amount of rough treatment before getting too flustered. I cannot speak to its room note. Your average English, if I had to guess. Anyways, highly recommended. It lives up to its name as a “Standard” English blend. -Nate, pipe smoker

Good smoke, I still like early morning pipe better but I'll keep this one in my rotation.

great smoke - just like the name says a standard smoke you can use at any point of day. medium blend, not too powerful. nice to add in the peterson rotation of smokes

It is difficult not to wax lyrical about this blend. Just the right amount of moisture, burns cool and well, and has a full and delicious flavor that is smooth, delightful, and memorable. Very, very pleased. M. Jones, East Texas old guy.

Don't buy it so there's more for me

This is my "driving smoke". Burns easily and fairly slow. Minimal to no relites. Not real complex just a great straight forward english blend that you dont have to think about to really enjoy. And it is priced so you can enjoy it many times a day.

This is the first pipe tobacco I have ever smoked, and I greatly enjoyed it. I will try other tobaccos now, but will definitely continue buying and smoking this one.

Its in the name. Standard. I never tried the dunhill version but i like this blend. Nothing special but its a solid everyday smoke

Dunhill used to have Standard Mixture Full. What happened to it?

I appreciate Peterson's continuing to produce new versions of the wonderful old Dunhill pipe tobaccos.

This, as Dunhill "Standard" Mixture, accounts for for my lengthiest continuous relation with pipe tobaccos. Odds close to 100% that I will be enjoy it before this day is over. To my tastes, Peterson has done a fine job continuing the production of his classic. Does anyone wonder whatever became of Standard Mixture "Mild" ?

This has been my favorite for along time.

This is my evening go to tobacco. Pairs perfectly with beer, wine, or bourbon. It even works with coffee. Mild and easy on the palate.

Nice light blend

Creamy, woody, medium bodied smoke. Full aroma of the Latakia hangs well in the air.

There is nothing better than a good English mixture. It may taste a bit strong if smoked too hot. Take your time and puff gently. The room note is on the strong side.

My favorite English. Perfectly balanced, perfectly delicious. Perfectly, perfect.

It is indeed one of my ‘standards’. A always dependable go to smoke.

My go to favorite.

The flavor and aroma are spot on for this recreation of the original Dunhill recipe. The only place where this is a bit different (at least to my memory) is the cut. Includes a lot more "twiggy" bits, and isn't quite as finely cut. Smoky, savory, with a hint of citrus. This is pretty much the baseline to which all other English blends are compared.

The blend and quality is good. It smokes well. However, it is a little milder than the Peterson Irish Flake.

Love it..

A perfect English blend. I may be misremembering, but Peterson Standard reminds me of the Balkan Sobranie I first began smoking in the early 60's. The Standard Mixture begins my day and most often ends it. I recommend it enthusiastically.

This is a great English! It is the standard I think. Not too sweet, not too spicy. It’s my preferred evening smoke. I can be really sensitive to nicotine as I never smoke anything but pipes and I’m a little bit of a lightweight anyway and this blend can be pretty heavy for me sometimes, especially if I smoke too fast. But it shouldn’t be a problem if you don’t consider yourself nicotine sensitive.

For a latakia English blend, I definitely found it balanced. One of the more smokable of the Latakia blends imo.

It is quite strong. But for those who like a stronger, more intense tobacco, this would be pretty good.

The name says it all. But, let's not take "standard " as a synonym for "average ". Standard Mixture is definitely above average. I will say it this way: this is an above average blending of standard English components. Should make any English/latakia happy as a lark.

I lean heavily towards mild cavendish blends but Peterson Standard adds just enough latikia without overpowering the smoke. Very pleasurable!

my favorite

This is my favorite Balkan blend without Perique! It packs easily, smokes smooth and cool, leaves gray ash, and is never hot. It is ribbon-cut, and can be packed and tamped pretty aggressively. It is great in ANY of my pipes! It is a 'quicker' smoke than I remembered, but that's fine.

I really like this blend. Mellow, and a hint of sweetness. Smoking this reminded me of the Dr. Pepper "Sweet One" commercials.

Very good blend

The quintessential English blend, effortlessly amazing and a wonderful blend to smoke anytime, anywhere, while doing anything

This is by far my favorite English blend. I noticed no ghosting, flavor is perfectly balanced, room note is not too bad. The nicotine hit was not too strong (I prefer as little as possible).

This is what it says it is - a medium English blend. I find this a good tobacco when I just want to relax and read a good book on the patio where the wife sends me to smoke.

I'll probably order more out of habit but the Peterson Standard Medium doesn't seem to match up with the old Dunhill blend. Peterson's version seems a little heavier, a little harsher. The taste profile is similar but to me at least it doesn't seem to be quite as smooth.

I had been very upset about Dunhill getting out of the tobacco blending business. All my favorite blends were Dunhill, but I only had about a pound or two in the cellar (some of it is quite old now) when they folded. I'm very excited to know that Peterson has picked up the torch, and moving the old Dunhill blends forward. I ordered and received two tins of Peterson Standard Mixture, it looks exactly like the old tins, except for the name. I waited a few days to open one (to build up the suspense). I popped open one of the tins, and was greeted with a very familiar aroma. Sweet and smokey, rich and full. The moisture content was perfect, and the cut was just like I remembered. I loaded up my bent billiard lattice meerschaum churchwarden pipe (reserved for tasting new blends), and lit it up. This is the real deal, it's back! The smoke was sweet and rich, with the Virginia and Orientals in the front. Filling in the bottom was the latakia, which had a definite presence, but not overwhelming. I hit the honey zone very quickly, and the tobacco took on an incense like quality, growing stronger as the bowl progressed. It smoked cool and dry in the meerschaum, with no bite. The honey zone lasted all the way, and very little dottle remained. The ash was white and gray, just like I remembered. My only complaint is that it is not offered in bulk, hopefully that will become an option as Peterson gets further into the transition. I'd like to age a couple of pounds of this blend. My impression is, Dunhill is back!

Close enough to the old Blend - it will work just fine.

One of my favorite latakia blends.

I am quite pleased with this blend, which I recently ordered for the first time. It seems just as smooth as my old favorite, the My Mixture 965, but has what I might call a brighter and crisper quality.

Really enjoyed this smoke. I will buy again

A great blend of orient, Virginia, and Latakia that's very well balanced and flavorful. Hearty tin notes. Easy to smoke and enjoy. It's now a favorite!

Most excellent, indeed!

Old time standard English blend. Worth a try!!!

I am a relatively new pipe smoker and this is my first English blend. I found it smooth and very pleasant. Will definitely place it into rotation.

It was good

Wow, this tobacco is one of my top 5 of all time.

Good

Standard English blend at the top of its game. What else do you expect from Dunhill? I bought two on sale. One for now and one for later.

I came late into the game. But I am not disappointed, flavorful, mild and so wonderful. My wife loves the room note on this one. Going to buy as much as I can so I can cellar it, it'll only become more flavorful with time. Highly recommend it if you haven't tried it already.

smooth burning everyday smoke.

Full bodied english. The standard english blend. Smooth smoking with enough latakia to give it body. Good stuff.

If you like English blends you will miss this when it is gone forever. It is not as famous as some of its Dunhill siblings, but nonetheless features the same qualities. Well selected, well cured leaves in a ribbon cut, cool burning smoke that does not bite. Class.

Very enjoyable.

Enjoyed it and would buy again. Still want 965 to be available some day.

Great

When you first smell the inside of the tabacco still wrapped it has a earthy smell. But when you first light it it has a different flavor then I expected. Smooth but nutty flavor. I do like it. I thought It would be a little harsher from just smelling it. I was surprised I do like the taste.

superb

Classic . All time consistent winner!

Nice mellow offering from Dunhill.

A delightfully mild,non-aromatic pipe tobacco that can be smoked all day long.

I've smoked Dunhill Standard for years, so I'm disappointed by Dunhill's announcement that it is ending its pipe tobacco business. Several years ago when Dunhill was not being imported, I smoked Peterson's Old Dublin but it really wasn't a substitute. If anyone has suggestions for a reasonable match for Dunhill Standard, I'm all ears.

I bought this tin sometime ago and tucked it away in my tobacco cabinet. To be honest, forgot about it completely until the other day when I was making a list and checking it twice for my next buy. It's not as smooth and easy as bb 1938,not as rough as the Dunbar mix. As a little golden haired girl said once, it's just right. The room note isn't overwhelming, the tobacco isn't too wet or dry, easy to pack,and smokes even and consistent to the bottom of the bowl. I wish I would have tried it sooner and I most definitely will be adding it to my list. I'll be sure to make it a regular in my rotation.

es una pica dura la cual se puede fumar en cualquier momento y dos veces seguidas sin molestias en la garganta su composición muy acertada

Hope another company picks up the line.

It used to be available in Dunhill outlets and in top tobacco shops. I hadn't seen it in years. On receiving this order, I found it exactly as I remembered it, one of the very best pipe tobaccos in the world.

This a great smoking English tobacco, it burns well, is smooth and has a great taste.

New piper smoker. Really enjoyed it.

A little moist when first opened and, as a result, was hard to keep lit and steamy with some bite. I left the tin open overnight...ten hours at a relative humidity of about 10%. This morning I loaded a favorite large bent and headed for the front porch for an hour of solitude. The stuff was about perfect this morning, lit easily stayed lit well enough and was tasty to the bottom. It must be sipped, smoking it fast is a waste of time. It’s English and the Latakia is certainly there along with a spicy note and little sweetness...must be light on Virginia and heavier on Turkish. Pleasant smoke, nothing dramatic. Dunhill quality is evident from the packaging through the tobacco itself. I purchased two tins and now that I know how to get it up to speed, I’m sure they will both prove enjoyable...this one needs slow deliberate treatment while smoking. An occasional relight may be needed if you smoke it slowly, light tamping too. All in all a very good if not very exciting smoke. Will heartily recommend it for those not in a hurry that appreciate English blends.

I have tried many pipe tobaccos. Dunhill Standard mixture is the best by far.

This tobacco sucks. It was very dry out of the tin and it smoked hot, dry, ashy, and harsh. The flavor was terrible. Would definitely not buy again and can not recommend!

This blend is a good gateway into English blends. The aroma is mild and the nicotine level tolerable.

It is my go to everyday blend.

I actually really enjoyed this blend. Very reminiscent of a quality tea as far as tin note and tobacco taste. Lat isn't over powering, but placed just enough to where it adds smoke and sweetness. The orientals are toasty and sweet with very subtle spice. Turned me on to start aiming for more oriental forward blends. It will age beautifully!

This is one of my very favorites. Love it.

I see a lot of extremely positive reviews for this blend. Unfortunately, I cannot agree. I love a fine English tobacco but I just cannot warm to this blend. The taste, rather than the delicious savory flavor I have come to appreciate with English blends, tasted harsh and bitter -- more like cigarette smoke than pipe tobacco. I felt the same was true of the room aroma, which my wife described as "stuffy smelling" and not at all pleasant. I also had a lot of difficulty keeping it lit. It is not a blend I would buy again. In fact, I threw out the rest of the tin as I knew I could not tolerate another bowl.

I may not be the best to review this tobacco since I am fairly new to English style blends, but Dunhill Standard Mixture is excellent IMO. Lights and burns well. Good Latakia flavor without being overwhelming. Seems to be a good balance between the Latakia, orientals, and Virginia tobaccos. Enjoyable smoke.

I absolutely love this blend and have made it a true go to. Very pleasant aroma when opening the tin, and this tin had an excellent moisture content so that it packs nicely and burns easily. The taste is excellent, and the aroma when lit really enhances the experience. Fairly cool on the tongue throughout and a wonderful strength. It also remained lit nicely and burned at a consistent pace. Despite having several tins open, I keep coming back to this blend repeatedly for the overall experience. I hope this helps.

Everything arrived as described and in good quality! Thanks!

Has quickly become my go to for a relaxing smoke while sipping some good whiskey.

Stout. Good evening blend. Not an all day smoke but quality blend

Burns slow and cool. This was a first try at an English Blend. Like many English blends, it has a complex taste. This is probably the only Dunhill mixture I love and I keep coming back to, as all the others (while they taste wonderful!) seem to smoke way too fast. I love to sit at my computer late into the night writing and smoking. The only complaint I have is that it does seem to have a knack for clogging up my pipe, resulting in twice daily deep cleanings. The extra effort is worth it. This blend will give your pipe a good cake!

There are lots of good English blends, but in my opinion Dunhill Standard Mixture is one of the greats. It is my personal favorite English, with a good balance between the Virginias, the orientals, and the Latakia. It is not a sweet, but a dry blend; never gets cloying. Less busy than 965, more oomph than Early Morning Pipe. Stronger than Squadron Leader, better balanced than the blessed Frog. Highly recommended.

Great pipe tobacco

If you ever wanted to try a blend that embodies everything you can expect from an English tobacco, then look no further! The Virginia, Perique, and Oriental tobaccos come together to form one of the nicest experiences I've had in a while. Definitely recommend it!

Just finished another bowl. Smokes cool and dr and stays lit throughout the whole time. Will reorder again. Wonderful business to order from, couldn't ask for better service.

This is my new favorite baccy. Amazing quality in both the tobacco and cut. I will keep a tin of this deliciousness around as long as its available. Just enough Latakia to let you know its there throughout the smoke, but mild enough to let the other players shine. Very satisfying!

I purchased it to cellar and age so I haven't tried it yet. However, I have yet to smoke a Dunhill tobacco I didn't like. So many tobaccos, so little time.

This blend is robust, but balanced and easy to smoke. Easy to load, smokes perfectly. It is a benchmark by which other blends should be evaluated.

A mild English mixture. For me, it is an all day smoke. Typical Dunhill ribbon cut so it packs easily.

Enjoyable mellow smoke. Nice in my churchwarden meer while reading Sherlock.

Pack well burns well good English smoke not over powering will reorder again

Excellent

Until now, EMP was my go to smoke. More and more, I find myself reaching for the Standard Mix. Quality stuff!

The exquisite OE Larsen pipe and free accessories were delivered within two days of my on-line ordering. In addition, many previous orders of dunhill pipe tobacco have consistently been delivered very quickly. A great seller with great products at great prices. What more could you ask for?

Good rotation tobacco. Nice flavor. Smokes fast and has an ashtray taste. But for me I like now and then. Would recommend to a friend.

The benchmark I hold all other English mixtures to is Dunhill standard Mix.

I love the peppery taste of London mixture, but it can be a bit much for a daily smoke. Standard mixture has the flavour without the the edge and is a perfect example of an English blend. Highly recommended.

Some English blends are too strong and full; some are too mild unbalanced. When I discovered Dunhill Standard Mixture, I found an English blend that had that great balance between the Latakia and the Virginias and Orientals that makes for a satisfying and delicious smoke. A medium bodied blend that is a good frequent go to smoke. Very satisfying; just what you smoke an English blend for. Arrived at just about perfect moisture level for smoking, but a little drying opened it up a bit. Orientals there but not too forward. Good latakia level without being a ‘lat-bomb’. Virginias, as in all Dunhill blends, are exquisite. Sits squarely between Early Morning Pipe on the mild side, and 965 on the full side. My idea of what an English blend is all about.
