Dunhill Three Year Matured Virginia
(2.44)
The Re-release tin description: A medium blend consisting of red (and other) Virginias, a pinch of Oriental leaf, and a very, very subtle fruit essence, leaving the flavors of the tobaccos themselves clear and intact. A classic now returned after a long absence.
The earliest tin description: "A fine old Virginia tobacco, matured for three years, mild and mellow though rich in flavour, the ideal of the true pipe smoker".
Notes: Discontinued in 2007, relaunched in 2015.

As the outdoor temperature in the Northeast climbed above 90F again, I continued my quest for an enjoyable aromatic. Figured a Dunhill blend would be a good bet but was wrong again. The luscious, fruity tin aroma of the dark brown ribbon cut disappeared after the initial light. Fearing I'd infect my pipes with a foul taste as has occured with other aromatics, I initially dedicated only one to these trials. From the start, I didn't taste the sweetness and with each bowlful, it became more bitter and exceptionally dry. However it was cool and without bite. To salvage the tin, I tried different pipes with better results, smoking only once in each before cleaning. The fruity taste lasted longer but still didn't result in a great smoke. Perhaps an avid aromatic fan would enjoy this blend, but not me. If anything, this tobacco made me appreciate some of the better aromatic blends from CAO/Dan, Germain and MacBaren even more.

It is an insult to call this tobacco. This could be the worse blend I have ever tried in 10 years of pipe smoking. I have run out of tobacco and smoked drugstore blends that are better. I am usually a fan of Dunhill blends, but this is not good. Dunhill promotes it as a 3-year mature tobacco, but I think it was fermented a little to long. Mature is not the word, geriatric maybe. It is very sweet and fruity. The taste is not only bad, but it never goes away. I have cleaned my Stanwell 3 times and I can still taste it. People who peddle kiddy porn should be forced to smoke this blend for the rest of their lives. Avoid.

I consider myself to love all VA tobacs. However, this one I can't stand. It has a dry awful taste. It burns my throat, and I can't wait for it to end. I can't even finish the bowl.
