Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
After smoking this, it was as though it was the tobacco I had been longing to find. The reviews I had read prior to ordering this were quite consistent and helpful.
The tin aroma is not as smoky as some other Dunhill blends. This is more pungent. Th... Read More
e tobacco is in perfect condition right from the tin. I smoked it almost immediately.
I love both English and VaPers, but the percentages of the mixture are in perfect equilibrium. Initially, the latakia is evident, but then almost magically the virginias appear and the characters are meshed perfectly. The orientals don't impose any sour notes here, something I also relished in this blend.
I had a feeling I would like this one and am glad I finally tried it. An amazing creation! Read Less
A lighter, more oriental standard mixture
August 24, 2017
Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
In Dunhill fashion, this tobacco is consistent. And probably that's the most special thing about it. It has an excellent ribbon cut, easy to pack and light. stays lit and leaves white ash with no moisture in the bowl. It's components are balanced and... Read More
can be smelled in the tin aroma, rome note and in the taste profile.. It is an Oriental/Balkan blend with Cyprian Latakia and what I think might be Izmir. light and red Virginia act as a base but it's a mix of Latakia and oriental leaf. It's a good all day smoke and works well with coffee and tea. Which makes it appealing..

This blend was my education into English pipe tobacco.. Before London Mixture for me there was just aros.. good and bad... mostly bad... I didn't have the gills for it immediately.. I remember feeling green twice in my years of smoking- once from thi... Read More
s and once much earlier from an ill-advised foray into Old Dublin.. Whoa. Weren't ready for either. But London Mixture, through all those years, has remained interesting: spicy, fragrant, ripe, incense-y.. some notes of peanut, though the tin just smells earthy, like forest floor. This and EMP are easily two of the finest light-medium English blends ever made, though this one is slightly richer and more interesting. Read Less
Great English-Oriental Mixture!
January 01, 2016
Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
A great English-Oriental blend, with emphasis on spicy Orientals, which play a major role in this mixture. The varieties of Orientals unfold a fan of interesting spices and flavours you will appreciate even more after a few bowls. No bites and peaks,... Read More
though. The generously added Virginia contributes tastes of a little hay, ample wood notes and a discreet layer of sweetness. Latakia is always present, accompanying the smoke, never dominant, delivering some leathery smokiness.
As a whole it remains a moderate but still very tasteful, appreciative mixture. It has been among my favourites for decades. As far as I remember, it was stronger and smokier (more Latakia) in the 80s, when it was blended by Murray, what made the blend more English than Oriental. Both ways delicious and perfect for my needs.
You will most certainly enjoy this mixture, if you are an Oriental enthusiast. If you prefer more balanced than spicy varieties of Orientals, go for its sibling, the Dunhill DURBAR mixture. Read Less
London Fog

Not the same

Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
Used to be a favorite. Maybe I got a bad tin, but burned hot, bit, and flavor was a big disappointment. Very unusual for a Dunhill blend. I might try it again in the future.

A superb English blend. Buy some before it is a fond memory. Dunhill will be missed. Sorry to see this one go away forever.

Too bad this one is being discontinued! I will have to stock up on this one!

Rich, Sweet, Spicy, creamy. My only hope is that Dunhill will not get out of what made it famous Tobacco! Without It's Tobacco history Dunhill would be nothing!!!!!!!
London mixture

Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
My favorite dunhill mixture so far. It has the perfect opportunity to for a good smoke and will leave you wanting more it's medium strength but I use it as an all day smoke without tongue bite
It’s a shame it says “discontinued”

Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
While I’m only a novice pipe smoker, this is the best pipe tobacco I’ve ever smoked. Flowery, citrus, raisins, leather ... so much better and more complex than the House blends I used to buy at a local tobacco shop.

Nice ribbon cut, good moisture right out of the tin, and a really nice, oriental-forward flavor. Nice and smooth.

Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
This was my first favorite. I went back to it over and over again. Smells like a tangy leather earthy smell. Smoking it was tangy not unsweet but Smokey campfire. It grew on me with each successive bowl.

I really enjoy this blend. It behaves very well.
Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
It's been awhile since I smoked this. It reminded me why I like english blends, because of latakia and oriental tobacco. My mixture 965 is still my favorite English blend lol
This is Dunhill???

Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
To call this London Mixture evokes the sense it will be a typical English blend.
Not so. this is the most flavorless, bland tobacco I can recall stuffing in a bowl.

A tobacco that I smoke with pleasure every morning with a good coffee to start the day well, and interlude with stronger tobaccos ...
Always a real pleasure of sweets and perfumes refined in English, timeless!

I first tried this blend about four years ago, and I thought it was terrible: harsh and hot. It was brittle-dry in the tin, and I wondered why so many thought so well of it. I decided to give it a second chance, and I find it's a "keeper." Deep rich ... Read More
taste and aroma, packs well, burns evenly. In the mason jar, after it's breathed a bit, I pick up a what seems to be a licorice or anise scent. This also has a nice aftertaste, especially with a cup of black coffee in the AM. I'm knocking a half-star off as I can't forget my first tin: a problem with quality control? Read Less
Oriental Forward

I love Dunhill blends. Quality tobacco that are easy to find in my local B&M stores. To me this is the twin to Standard Mixture, but more oriental forward. Great.

What a time of year to try this fantastic English Blend that I can't believe was under my radar this long. If you're a fan of Dunhill or English Blends, you'll enjoy this as a unique year-round smoke. As you take in the tin aroma you know you're in f... Read More
or a smoking experience that's not going to disappoint. Sweet, fruity, smoky, nutty, leathery scents entice you to light this newfound treasure. Once lit, the smooth and robust flavors of this medium-bodied smoke shows no overpowering of the Virginia, Latakia and Oriental Spices. You'll feel this to be an all-day smoke that has no-bite, little re-lights that may cause you to make this a new constant in your tobacco rotation. Enjoy! Read Less

only an occasional re-light and burns evenly without any bite - and I tend to be a "quick" smoker. I tend to favor the English blends and there may be better ones out there, but for my money London Mixture does the trick. I have a new tin waiting to be opened. Read Less

Having reviewed this blend in May 2015 it has become my favorite blend of all the Dunhill blends. It's funny how your tastes change over time and for me it has become the go to blend more often than not.

Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
Given Dunhill's reputation, I was surprised to find London Mixture the only one I'd actively pursue. There's no accounting for sensory variations, I guess. It came across for me as if suddenly it was 1910, as it has an almost oakey, traditional feel ... Read More

Smoking this for over a yr now and it's my Top blend along with 965.

A little tin of yumminess!

Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
Skillfully blended to highlight the choice Latakia, Virginia, and Turkish tobaccos used in this mixture. Consistent from start to finish. Good straight from the tin, from a pouch, or with a little age on it.
Clean and Cool

Product: Dunhill London Mixture 50g
The tin note is a sweet note with some smokiness. The latakia in this blend does not overpower as I think the orientals are more forward giving it an incense and floral smoke. The virginias add the right amount of sweetness and backbone to this blend... Read More

ly Morning Pipe and Nightcap but even less personality than 965 (which I prefer to this blend). Ah yes, subjectivity. It all depends on one's mood. It isn't entirely disinteresting, it just seems to be lacking something that I look for in an English. I think I just require more of a latakia punch to the nostril? Read Less

ock-pow!) London Mixture usurped the near empty Nightcap and ascended the throne of partiality, reigning supreme over the kingdom of my druthers.
London Mixture is a excellent English Blend, strong, robust, wonderfully complex. The Turkish tobaccos add intrigue to the Latikia. Virginias balance the two, subtle though necessary for the consummation. Give it time, London Mixture is Dunhill's sleeper blend. May my cabinet never be absent it's excellence(sock-pow!). Read Less
