Review - Dunhill Standard Mixture Mild

[JGIORD]

Dunhill Standard Mixture Mild:

This is a bright ribbon cut tobacco with a splattering of dark leaf
throughout. It is a mild, but fairly falvorful tobacco with enough latakia
for you to know its there but not enough to overpower your taste buds. The
latakia is also in limited enough quantity as to not leave a heavy
aftertaste.

I find Virginia blends to be clean smoking and tasting without leaving your
palette feeling heavily coated. Although I have less luck describing the
flavors of pipe tobacco as I do a cigar, I would say that the overall flavor
is a woody\nutty taste with just a touch of spice on the tongue. The spice
or zestiness picks up as you smoke the bowl down but is never harsh. I
didn't detect any sweetness from the Virginia leaf as I have with other
Virginia blends, but I still enjoyed the overall flavor.

The tobacco burns clean and leaves the bowl with a light grey dry ash.
Overall I found this to be a very light but enjoyable morning smoke....just
what I was looking for.
