Dunhill My Mixture 965

My Mixture 965 is among Dunhill's best-known English mixtures. Virginia leaves, Turkish orientals, latakia and cavendish are combined and presented ribbon cut together. The cavendish addition adds a dark, sweetish base to the smoky structure; the orientals give sour and grassy edges, while latakia defines the blend's identity. Its strength is high and its flavor intensity is very high; because of this it fits a pattern favored at particular hours rather than repeated smoking throughout the day. It rewards aging, and the transitions between components soften over time. Production under the Dunhill name has ended, though the recipe continues under another brand.
