Dunhill - The Aperitif

We suspect this was left form the original batch of re-releases due to its closeness to My Mixture 965. The two tobaccos share many of the same qualities and constituent tobaccos, but from what we gather the results differ. As the name implies this isn’t a strong tobacco and is ideal before a meal or as an all-day smoke. Not as Latakia as My Mix 965, but well balanced with a wide flavour profile.

Comprised of Virginias, Turkish, Latakia and Black Cavendish (Virginia based). The smoke is cool and smooth thanks to the unsweetened black Cavendish, with the Virginias bringing the usual Hay/Grass notes, with a little sweetness. The Turkish and Latakia bring a depth of spicy, woody and smoky flavours. Like all quality tobaccos, the flavour subtly changes throughout the bowl and finishes with a slightly spicier finale.
