So the other day I'm smoking London Mixture in a new Missouri Meerschaum. It is Saturday morning, chilly, whatever. So I bundle myself up, brew myself a cup of coffee, and get started.
Dunhill's London Mixture straight out of the tin smell fantastic. Reminds me of Creed's Tabarome if I have to compare it to anything. There is enough Latakia in there that it adds that smokey leathery nuance that I like but it doesn't detract from the sweetness of the matured Virginias. So I load my bowl up and I think I'm going to get a fabulous treat.
Well, for me I don't really taste that much in London Mixture. To me it reminds me of sucking down bland ash and occasionally I can get the smokiness from the lat or the sweetness of the Virginias. But all I can say is that it was a very flat smoke. Very cheap. Reminded me of smoking a brand that we used to buy in college called Sail. Not really noticeable or offensive.
It is the Bryant Gumbel of tobacco.
Does anyone get this? I remember smoking Nightcap and finding it tasty (but overwhelming). I've never tried Early Morning Pipe or Balkan Sasieni so I don't really have anything to compare other than GLP's Piccadilly, which I used to smoke in college. Has Dunhill just lost the edge?
