A Great All-Day
April 29, 2018
Product: Dunhill Ready Rubbed 50g
I think this blend has great flavour. I have to wonder if some people bother to retrohale? Light on the sunshine and hay with hints of fresh bread and cane sugar.
A well behaved blend with a light, sweet taste and an attractive room-note.
Light tobacco.

Here's a blend that's so subtle you might miss the taste if you don't slow it down to a crawl.
It's not a bad tobacco at all. It's just very soft and light.
Good tobacco

This is a very easy all day smoke. No bite good burn, and the strength won't knock you out.
dissapointing

The worst Dunhill tobacco...maybe aging will help, but no taste at all at this moment
Nothing Crazy, But Well Done

Product: Dunhill Ready Rubbed 50g
This is the tobacco to get people into Virginia Smoking. Why? Because it is super easy. Easy to pack, easy to burn, versatile, not big on flavor, not big on nicotine.
That's how it is. Slight vanilla note, nice woodiness, nuttiness. But come on, see... Read More
it for what it is. This is a very high-quality all-day smoker that doesn't ever force itself upon you. I recommend it constantly to pipers who want to get into higher-end stuff. And it works every time. Read Less
People are too harsh on this tobacco

Ready Rubbed is an underrated tobacco. Sure it's mellow, but it's great for a first morning smoke. It has a sweet, yet subtle taste. definitely a great intro to both Virginia blends and flake tobacco. Although it is not a flake tobacco, it has the te... Read More
xture and burn qualities of a rubbed out flake. It taught me not to fear flake tobaccos.
Although I don't smoke Ready Rubbed all the time, I keep a tin handy in my humidor for those times when I want a light, sweet, slow burning tobacco, to kick back and watch the sunrise.
So, if you are looking for a light start to the day, or a foray into Virginias, grab a tin of this great tobacco. Read Less
Virginia pops in this one

The tin,now jarred is 2years old..at first I didn't get what other more experienced smokers were getting..most likely because I didn't have enough experience smoking a VA forward Oriental blend.but now I do get it...this is aged VA greatness with Bur... Read More
ley and Oriental in back as supporting players..it's a slow sipper best kept barely lit and ssllooww cadenced...gives a great combination of sweet,toasty,nutty,slightly bready tastes that VA lovers will appreciate.The nic level is just enough to please...will definitely get hot if aggressively smoked,but then the sour and nutty will come easier to taste.Recommended...although now has greatly increased in price and is harder to aquire...I'm glad I got this one a year ago.

Just fine

Good blend for all-day. Light. Not so much character as other Dnhill tobaccos, but I've liked it. Good taste and easy to smoke.
Well below all other Dunhill offerings

Dunhill Ready Rubbed is, at best, a mediocre tobacco and, at worst, sub-par. Dunhill has had some legendary offerings; but Ready Rubbed is ashy and lacks character. Not a “long draw” tobacco. Perhaps aging would help it.
Sub-par entry by Dunhill

Product: Dunhill Ready Rubbed 50g
Surprisingly low on flavor and complexity. The casing doesn’t convey at all except on the nose. Room note is fair but any longer draws will produce a VERY ash flavor that’s hard to shake and overwhelms the other flavors.
Just OK

This is the stuff you open, taste and forget. There is nothing memorable about the blend and honestly if you've already got oriental/virginia blends in your rotation dont waste your time on this.
All day smoke

Product: Dunhill Ready Rubbed 50g
Have yet to relight a bowl. Smokes nice and cool. Feels more Virgina forwards and the orientals and in the back. I don't feel like the fruit topping ties it together but this is my go to daily smoke. Hence, why I am slowly stocking up.
Gently flavoured Virginia.

Classic-elegant tin label. Tin nose is mainly bread and yeast. I cannot smell any Oriental. Neatly and evenly presented Ready Rubbed tobacco, almost like a medium-fine Ribbon Cut. Gorgeous golden colour. A feast for your eyes. All high Dunhill standa... Read More
rd. The moisture out of the tin is ok for me. Since our American pipe friends usually prefer drier tobacco than Europeans, you may allow a short drying time.
Excellent smoking conditions. But mind you: neither draw to eagerly, nor smoke too hot, or the moment of revenge has come, in the form of harsh-acrid tastes and the well-known Virginia bite. Otherwise it is a mild, rather pleasurable and tasty smoke.
To me this new release of DUNHILL READY RUBBED is a straight Virginia Blend, not an Aromatic like the original one definitely was. Although I cannot single-out the Orientals, they may certainly be there and provide some hidden spice and enhance the mixture’s taste. As far as I am concerned it’s all about Virginias and some topping. The added flavours are gentle and marry up really well with the Virginias. It’s a kind of fruity casing, which I am not able to specify. They did a good job on this, because I am normally scared off by artificial flavourings.
I have never been a fan of straight Virginia blends, even less, when flavoured. I prefer heavy English, Balkan and Perique mixtures. But, DRR is somewhat recommendable as a light all-day smoke. Read Less

Look Ma , no taste . I mean none.
Disappointing

Ready Rubbed used to be my all-favourite, all-day smoke more or less throughout the 1990s (it used to be packed in rectangular tins back then). When I recently noticed it was back, I hurried to order 10 tins, and was unpleasantly surprised. The new p... Read More
roduct has little or nothing to do with its very special, high-quality predecessor. This tobacco used to have different (darker)colour, cut, taste and aroma. It burnt much better, more slowly and consistently then the present version (it had a little more humidity to it, and a much more convincing "body"), had a much more distinct, extremely delicate and pleasant aroma, it was somewhat stronger, and, importantly, had no bite whatsoever. None of these features seem to exist in the renewed mixture, which I find dull and of mediocre quality. What a pity. Read Less
First Dunhill... it's growing on me

I am pretty new to pipe smoking, but have fallen in love. Over the past year I've pretty much spent my time at my local tobacconist here in SE Wisconsin and have been expanding my palate (so take review w/a grain of salt). This is my first purchase... Read More
of Dunhill and had no idea what to expect. While I can't say I particularly enjoyed my first bowl, my second one (3 days later), was much more satisfying. I'm very pleased with the sweet, smooth aftertaste. And the nicotine kick I received was larger than any other I've smoked thus far. It went right to my legs, ha! Overall it is smooth and burns well. I'd agree with the previous review that puffing to hard brings out the ashy taste. Looking forward to how the tobacco and I change as we age. Read Less
I'm digging these re-releases

Product: Dunhill Ready Rubbed 50g
This is a great VA/Oriental. It's hard to pick out what fruit topping it is, but it's even more subtle than what's on "Three Year Matured". - both are great VA blends. This is a pretty solid all-day smoke that should age amazingly well! Can... Read More

Good But Not What Was Expected
July 30, 2015
Product: Dunhill Ready Rubbed 50g
The fruity topping must be very subtle indeed, because I was unable to taste it at all. It came across in the room note, albeit very faintly. What you're left with is a nice, mild Virginia. Buttery in the first light then develops into a Virginia swe... Read More
etness, then it ends with a tangy sort of spice. Puffing to hard brings out an ashy taste. An excellent addition all-in-all to the Dunhill line. Read Less
