The Ultimate English Blend
November 19, 2017
Product: Dunhill My Mixture 965 50g
In my Perfect World, Wikipedia would have in its Pipe Tobacco article, under the English Blends category, Dunhill My Mixture 965. I have been smoking pipes on and off since 1974 (a nearly successful Suicide By Cherry Blend, or Yes, Son; It's Actually... Read More
Possible To Turn Green...), and having progressed through a long series of OTC's and better aromatics, have come to enjoy the stolid maturity of English Blends. Any Sherlockian or Holmesian (they make a distinction) would likely agree that, after a bowl of MM965, THIS is the stuff befouling the atmosphere at Mrs. Hudson's on any cold damp night. The stuff is moderately easy to light, and burns smoothly at a bit lower temperature than most. IMHO, it seems to prefer a larger bowl to a smaller one, burning cooler and longer in the former than the latter. Taste is consistent from start to finish, except if a bowl is allowed to burn out, left to cool and restarted. Takes a short time upon relighting to resume its character. MM965 burns to a fine ash, not too oily, and usually won't blow out at the bottom of the bowl, leaving you with a tongueload of acrid coals. Buy this tobacco with great confidence! It's English through and through; probably treason for a U.S. Citizen to smoke it... Read Less

I am exceptionally sentimental towards 965, as this was the first tinned pipe tobacco I ever purchased. The tobacco is rich and nutty, with a wonderful smokey backdrop from the latakia. The blend is consistent and thus dependable. A true classic.

It is the smoker-pipe`s tobacco for excellence. Extremely well balanced, where the BC helps you enjoy the taste of Latakia and a touch of oriental pushes gently from behind. A delight for the palate and to smoke at any time of day.

Tipical Scottish Mixture

Product: Dunhill My Mixture 965 50g

A typical Scottish Mixture, indeed, and a Hall of Fame mixture, too. For many pipe lovers it might be the best Scottish Mixture ever. I remember 965 quite differently in several aspects when I smoked it in the early 80’s. But I don’t want to get into this.
The Virginias and the English Cavendish, as a courting coupe, form the body of this mixture. The bright and obvious sweetness lies unequivocally in the Macedonia Bright (a sweet Oriental). The darker, more settled sweetness, as well as the discreet nutty, creamy taste, originate from English Cavendish, not from Burley, as it normally does. To my knowledge there is no Burley at all in this mixture. The Orientals (other than Macedonia Bright) provide and enhance the natural tobacco aromas and add some spice to this blend. Latakia is there, as in all Scottish Mixtures, on a small scale though, just to provide a decent woody, leathery smokiness.
Over all, an excellent all-day mixture, although it might be too dominant on the diverse sweetness for the dedicated English, Balkan and Latakia smoker.
Last but not least, this mixture has the quality of a “transition mixture” for Danish smokers who want to become English smokers. Try it. Read Less

Put in order in strength with Dunhill latakia's it would be
Nightcap (strongest), then Morning Pipe, then 965(mildest). But the main reason why I like 965 is because of how it burns. This tobacco burned to a fine white ash all the way to the bottom of the bowl with no moisture, no residue, and no leftover tobacco. I's a good quality tobacco blend that smokes quite well.

The Dunhill 965 is a decent smoke, albeit with that cigarettish flavor. It does pack easily and burns well, though a touch hot. The tin aroma is very appealing, but doesn't carry over to the smoke. If there were nothing else available, it would do.
