Sutliff Tobacco Company Match 20

(3.15)
A match to the original Dunhill My Mixture 965. PipesAndCigars says: "This traditional "Scottish" blend uses choice Virginias, exotic Turkish Orientals, smoky Cyprian Latakia and a bit of slightly-sweet brown cavendish to make a superbly balanced and enjoyable experience." However, the Official Sutliff Match 20 description is: "This is a robust English blend with character. Plenty of Latakia, pressed Virginia, and burley provide the base."
Notes: Formerly known as Match Dunhill My Mixture 965.

Unfortunately, Sutliff missed the mark on this one. I’m not sure what you’d call the cut on the 965 match, but it was definitely very coarse and uneven. Some pieces were small ribbons and others were much larger. The tobacco didn’t have much of a smell either other than a bit of earth and sweetness.

The taste itself was also very mild. I could only detect a slight note of pepper and a bit of sourness.

Sutliff’s Match is far from being anything like Dunhill 965 and I cannot recommend this blend for people that can no longer find Dunhill tobacco.

This mixture tries through chemical means to emulate a classic English. The Virginia bites and tastes green and while the nutty/incense flavor is there in spades, the artificial sweetness makes it a flavored Latakia mixture. Predictably, this prevents me from enjoying it and by the mid bowl of a second try, I stop and now concentrate on how to remove the foul ashy, bitter cigarette aftertaste. Oh I know! Let me open one of my remaining Dunhill 965 tins, this should to the trick.
