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.

PROS: There is a good amount of virginia,has some aromatic smell,lights good and packs good.It is Dunhill
CONS: The oriental leaf throughs off the virginia. better if not aromatic. wife hates it.I dont care for it.smells like rotten fruit with tomato paste.
I am glad I bought just an ounce I was hoping for a good straight VA blend instead I got a aromatic with dumpster fruit

Had Dunhill built the Edsel, this tobacco would have been their second largest flop. I am very pleased that this was not my first foray into Virginia tobaccos, otherwise it would be difficult, make that nearly impossible, to get me to try another.
I am a fan of Dunhill tobaccos and as such I really wanted to like this stuff. I kept putting the tin away for longer and longer periods of time in hopes that something would happen, it never did.
Rather than spend your hard earned cash on this, cut the grass and load your pipe with the clippings.
Update: I tried this tobacco originally in '02' and had a chance to pick up another tin just a few months ago at what I thought to be a good price. I had hopes that if treated a bit differently it may be a good tobacco. Turns out that there is not a good price for bad tobacco. I can't get this weed to behave no matter what I do.

This tobacco used to be one of my favourites until it was discontinued in the UK during the ninteen seventys .Recenty,with a tobacco order from the USA I purchaced two 50g tins. What a let down.This tobacco is more of an aromatic than the great virginia remembered of years gone by I like to smoke an aromatic sometimes for a change of pace but did not like the taste of this.And the aroma!.When I smoked TYM in the pub I got a lot of comments which were not in its favour If you like natural va tobacco this one is not for you.My big regret is that I bought two tins of the stuff

Dissapointment plus! Rather than going the way of a type of fruit in the description of this tobacco I'd prefer to go the way of perfumes. 3 year matured was to be a high point in my smoking career. the idea of a Dunhill pure matured virginia sent me into realms of fantasy only Tolkien could have devised. This made the let down so much greater. Immediately upon opening I knew something was wrong. Had my wife secretly emptied a full bottle of OPIUM scent into round flat tin? NO she wouldn't have, and there was that wonderful characteristic whhup as the air enters the tin for the first time. Poisonous stuff me thinks. My mouth was charred. My heart saddened as I tipped 25gms intot he flower bed! Expensive fertilizer.

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.
