Dunhil Elizabethan Mixture re-issue

 
Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture re-issue.
 
I've only tried Three Nuns, one of the "re-issues" that has come out recently. They include Three Nuns, Capstan blue and Capstan yellow. Elizabethan Mixture is the latest re-issue of a classic blend and...drum roll...I like it! It's much nicer than Three Nuns (yuck, sorry) and tastes like a mild English blend. Imagine less Latakia and more dark Virginia.
 
It is a fine ribbon "shag" that lights quickly. Unfortunately that means that there is a tendency to burn too hot and produce a nasty bite.
 
Overall, I give it high marks and will become my English blend of choice for now.
