Elizabethan Mixture

Elizabethan Mixture is a ribbon-cut blend where Virginia leaves meet perique. It burns steadily, leaving white ash in the bowl; this even burn allows the tobacco to be smoked slowly. Aging notably transforms the blend: perique's sharp spice mellows over time, and the Virginia side matures and comes forward.

Its strength runs medium to strong, and its flavor intensity is above average; it is not an all-day blend but rather a choice for particular occasions. It suits smokers familiar with Virginia-perique mixtures, comfortable with nicotine load, and interested in tobaccos that reward cellaring. Production under the Dunhill name has ended.
