Has anyone tried both a Dunhill blend and it's Peterson counterpart? If so, any noticable differences?
Peterson Dunhill Vs Dunhill

I dont notice a big difference to my young pallette. That being said..the Dunhill version was made by the same people doing the Peterson version.
I think it’s fair to say other than flavor differences due to variations in tobacco crops they are the same. At least Elizabethan was close enough.
Basically, what Kentos said.
I would imagine the Latakia would have to be different no?
There are some conspiracists who believe the Latakia we are getting nowadays is artificially flavored.
There are no differences between the STG/Dunhill and STG/Peterson(Dunhill) blends except the name and age of the tin/crop.
Flavored Lat? Isn’t Cyprian in good supply? Syrian is out of production, right?

Well that is disheartening.
I don’t believe it myself but the theory is compelling. If anything maybe Cyprian may go the way of Syrian. I dunno

Thanks for the responses, Gents.
I read several years ago that the warehouse where Syrian Latikia was cured and stored burned and destroyed the entire supply.
Good because I’m expecting Match Elizabethan (now Victoria) any day now
Is that the Sutliff blend? It’s a really good blend, but the Perique is a little more “musty” than the Dunhill Elizabethan. Wasn’t a close match to me but still worthy of keeping some on hand. Cheaper too.
Yes. As I never had the Dunhill, I have a bit of an advantage here smile
. ThanksSteve
I now had the chance to compare Dunhill's Standard Mixture with Peterson's Standard Mixture. It's the same tobacco. Just the same very slight differences as with any other new tin of Dunhills in the past.
And let's be honest: why should it be different?
I don't believe that Cyprian Latakia is artificially flavoured for different reasons (esp. the German governmental institutions who always monitor the tobacco industry very closely!).

So, I looked it up in the German government database. All Dunhill Blends with Latakia do not contain any flavouring, only preservertives and humectant agents. The Kohlhase & Kopp Englishes (like Mc Connell Oriental and the Rattray Blends) contain flavouring, but I would guess not for the Latakia.
Do you have a link to the database? It seems like it would be interesting to look up a few blends that I have wondered about...
