Dunhill Mr. Alfred's Own
(3.63)
One of the original 'English' mixtures, but it remains very popular. A mellow medium blend of Latakia, Cavendish, Virginias and Oriental Leaf, with added Havana filler leaf to give it 'zest'. Available only at the Dunhill store.

From the smell in the tin, I was expecting a stronger Latakia taste: no, this is actually more similar to Dunhill Cuba with just a sprinkle of the smoky black leaf... The cigar leaf is in the correct amount for my taste (albeit, not too much of it and not harsh), and has a lesser impact (taste and nicotine wise) than in GLPease Robusto, which on the other hand is a more personal and tasty tobacco while mantaining several points in common. Personally I think that if I want a Latakia blend with cigar leaf, Fox Banker's mixture is still VASTLY superior to both Alfred's Own and Robusto: rounder, sweeter, rich, warm and rewarding. This Dunhill offering, only available at their London store, is decent but not memorable.
