Brigham Acadian Blend
(2.14)
This is a shag-cut blend of light and medium brown Virginias with a high percentage of fruity black perique. Mild, naturally sweet, pure tobacco flavor.
Notes: This tobacco was formerly packaged under the brand Mr. B's blend "Tudor Mixture" as part of their D-Series - only the label on the tin has changed. Intended to offer an equivalent to Dunhill's "Elizabethan Mixture".

This is my first tin as my regulars were not available. I was informed that this blend was a substitute for Dunhill’s Elizabethan; I don’t think so. Upon opening the tin, I was had pressed to smell anything except a mild grassy virginia. If I hadn’t been told it contained Perique, I would not notice. Tobacco cut was fine, packed well, lit easily and burned well. Nothing negative about the product but didn’t meet the promotional level of my particular expectations. Perhaps my opinion will change with time.

I don't know where to start with this awful blend. Its like Brigham got the cheapest blender (and the cheapest blending house), gave them the cheapest tobacco they could find, then tried to run off against Dunhill.
The tin note is uneventful, and holds no promise. It packs and lights well, and required no re-lights. The virginias in this tin, are less than mediocre. No natural sweetness, just harsh cigarette-tasting smoke, mixed with a rather poorly behaved perique, crashing around like a petulent child.
IMO, there is a definitely a casing on this blend, but I have no proof of it. Either way, it adds a rather unpleasant start to the smoke, that never improves.
Frankly, it tastes like I made it - avoid at all costs.
