Better than the Dunhill 965
October 09, 2017
Product: Sutliff Match 20 Bulk
Today's Dunhill 965 is not the same as it used to be, back in the day. Hate to say that, but it's true. I've been a fan of Dunhill's blends for going on 50 years and they've just… well… changed. Part of it, I think, is the Latakia. Used to be Syrian.... Read More
Now, I believe, it's Cyprian. Good smoke, yes, but different. For my part, I think this is better. And the price sure is. Read Less
And my mixture remains 965.

I guess based on how much I've raved about Dunhill's My Mixture 965 being an English standard coupled with the Dunhill news, my friend picked up a bag of Sutliff's 965 match to see just what sort of potential replacement it offered. He really seemed ... Read More
to like it. I eventually gave in to curiosity and had to try the match for myself. I think it's fair to say that I'm more familiar with the Dunhill version, but I was completely surprised how much I liked this match blend. It has all the hallmarks that made 965 great. The ribbon cut is not the same, less refined, but preforms okay. It's bulk, but seemed to maintain a nice moisture level for weeks. That's where the differences end folks. The flavors are rather spot-on IMO. I joked with my friend that I may not be able to tell them apart on a blind taste test. Yes, it was that close! So, then I thought...”Why is this so similar?”, and then it dawned on me. When I first started smoking Dunhill's blend 25yrs ago, it more than likely had Syrian Latakia. Over the years it has slowly changed a little with the more common variety of Cyprian Latakia being used. Cyprian Latakia is more mellow and smooth, creamy even, which works with VA to make the blend just slightly sweeter. Matching “sweeter” is something Sutliff can do. So, I must conclude that if you're thinking this will match old tins of Dunhill 965 from your cellar you'll find this match sweeter, but if you're looking for it to match the more recent tins of Dunhill 965, you'll be much rewarded. Me personally, I still give the win to Dunhill either way, but with its days numbered and Sutliff having such a great bulk match, I can easily see my loyalties wavering. I hope this helps. UPDATE: We now have My Mixture 965 readily available thanks to Peterson, and as far as I can tell theirs is identical to the final tins Dunhill released, but I still believe for the price and convenience of bulk, I have no problem with Sutliff's match (now Match 20). BTW, I failed my blind taste test with flying colors! Read Less

This is a very good blending of the described tobaccos, it is a very nice mild English with a good hint of Latakia but the Orientals seem to play the major role, the cavendish is slightly detectable ( which I prefer). It has a moderate amount of smok... Read More
iness and the nic hit is light. I would put this as a good all day smoke for those who do but the aroma will not be a big crowd pleaser. As for being a good match to the original, yes, but if you are big Dunhill fan you will not agree. I personally have hard time supporting current Dunhill due to the companies direction of disassociating themselves from tobacco. The only negative comment I think I could have about the blend is the the cut could use a little more attention, some of the strands were on the long and leathery side. Read Less

I’ve never tried the original Dunhill 965, so I’m not comparing this match blend to it. I’m smoking Sutliff Match 20 to just enjoy a different English from what I usually smoke.
This blend is absolutely fantastic! Smoky notes of leather, sour, and s... Read More
weet. The black cavendish is what makes this blend for me and sets it apart from other English blends. The smoky edges of this blend are smoothed by the sweet black cavendish, giving this woodsy blend a nice velvety body.

e to look far. Match 965, in my opinion, fits the bill. This gem provides a nice Lat bomb lovers fix. My mouth is salivating thinking about it. The black cavendish and Latakia meld with the oriental to produce an ideal miasma of deliciousness. Needless to say. I believe my first smoke tonight will be Match 965. Read Less

Product: Sutliff Match 20 Bulk
Nothing stood out with this for me.. its a nice tobacco tho
Product: Sutliff Match 20 Bulk
965配方而不是965。开罐的调味味道非常重，抽起来也是。我放了很久后恢复了本色，接近965，但缺少本来的O草风味。甜，有基本该有的味道，但缺少965的灵魂。所以，不去比较的话是个性价比高的草吧。
香甜可口，我的轮换口粮之一
June 26, 2022
Product: Sutliff Match 20 Bulk
外观上看大部分是黑色的卡文迪什和拉塔基亚混合物，混合有少量的O草，草的裁切相对细致叶梗较少。点火抽吸是明显的烟熏奶油味，加上卡文迪什相对较高的甜味，L草含量中低，口味很好，每口都是香甜奶油烟熏味，中段开始烟气渐渐变得寡淡，好味道就在前中段，尾段比较鸡肋可以选择倒掉，考虑到价格实惠，总体不失为一款口粮好草。

入口很浓郁能很快抓住你的口，但越抽越突出调味的痕迹

跟965云壤之别，买了4盎司硬着头皮抽完的，不值得推荐
Product: Sutliff Match 20 Bulk
This is a mild English that one could smoke all day. The Latakia is present but not over powering. The addition of Cavendish brings a sweetness that compliments the Orientals. Overall quite nice. With some age it will rival 965.

965 has been my "go to" baccy for a long time. I've probably easily smoked 300+ tins of it. I suspect I know 965 pretty darn well. This "match" does its best and I appreciate the effort by Sutliff. However, this blend only mildly... Read More
rhymes with 965 and only in the higher notes. It's a bit bitey if your not careful and is totally missing the pleasant slightly sharp leather of 965. The Sutliff match also lacks the nicotine strength. 965 also has a bolder flavor overall by a significant margin. The biggest problem, however, is the Cavendish component. 965 uses UNSWEETENED brown Cavendish. Sutliff uses an obviously sweetened Cavendish. I smoked 965 and this Sutliff match side by side....puff by puff. It's not a good match at all. I don't recommend. If you are looking for something that has the same spirit of 965, I would highly suggest you try Balkan Sasieni. It hits many of the same notes as 965 and is the best "match" of 965 currently available. Read Less

之前一段时间看见很多人推荐这款草，说很像登喜路965，实际上到手以后，抽上一斗，黑卡文迪许带来的甜味和香味非常柔和香甜，l草含量不高，慢慢捕捉也可以找到l草皮革味，o草的苦味在后段也会轻微展现整体非常舒适，烟气柔和，香甜，非常适合入门的草之一，

say underwhelming only because it is nowhere near the front of this bus. This blend offers a confusing array of flavors from slightly bitter just tickling the back of the throat, to an odd Mish mash of sweetly sour citrus tobacco mash up deserving its own contemplation time prior to pondering life's intricacies. This blend will have it's own slot in the oddities section of my cellar. Side notes however are as follows: blend started a little moist dry time suggested not required. It did carry a bit of bite that I think a 6 mo time out would more than take care of. Can't wait to try some of this after it settles down a bit! Read Less
