Since we have a rather widespread group, perhaps someone knows something about these My Mixture blends that they can share. I was spending quite a bit of time try to procure a tin of a My Mixture blend or blends that was on our favorite auction site recently. Got my hat handed to me every time it seemed. Not only was the blend numbers unknown to me, I had not seen these round and square tins before.
8oz in size, with both printed on and paper labels. I kept at it and acquired two tins. Haven't seen any more listed for a time, so I assume they have all been sold.
The first tin is square. Painted. Says "Personal Mixture", the no. written in marker is no. "A11010". On the bottom in marker is "600W 9-97".
The second tin is round. Paper label. Says "Dunhill My Mixture". Usual Dunhill information printed on the label. "Manufactured Under the Authority of Dunhill Tobacco of London Limited" Also says that there is "Tens of Thousands of separate My Mixture blends" Hand written in ink is no. "11010" "600W 4-95"
Anyone know which might be a blend number and which might be a customer number? Got any ideas of a blend description?
Inside the taped shut tins was a plastic bag with the tobacco. A bit on the dry side. Not dust. Mostly black pieces with a bit of brown ribbon. A lot of Latakia. What I consider a Dunhill type toasted flavor. Closest description I would compare it to is perhaps "White Spot". But I have never had "White Spot".
Mostly Latakia. Perhaps some toasted black Virginia. Maybe a little Turkish as the brown ribbon. I think it's very good. I have been very slowly bringing the moisture up. But it didn't really need much.
