Peterson My Mixture 965
The tobacco blend, now sold as Peterson My Mixture 965, traces its roots back to Alfred Dunhill's original shop on Duke Street in London. It was not initially a catalog product but a custom-made blend for a customer, E. A. Baxter, Esq., and was recorded in the historical "My Mixture Book." The relatively low number "965" indicates its early acceptance as a favored recipe. Although it was produced by Dunhill for decades and then by Murrays, the original recipe is currently manufactured by Scandinavian Tobacco Group and sold under the Peterson brand.
The tobacco My Mixture 965 is referred to as a Scottish-style blend or traditional English blend. My Mixture 965 contains Latakia, which brings a characteristic smoky, rich, and cool flavor profile, while bright Macedonian Orientals are added for sweetness and a subtly spiced taste, balancing the tobacco. A significant feature that distinguishes My Mixture 965 from other similarly based tobaccos is the addition of brown Cavendish, which deepens the overall flavor experience and adds a gentle sweetness, complementing the overall fullness.
Peterson My Mixture 965 is sold in a ribbon cut and offers a medium strength. Smokers report flavor notes of nuts, leather, and wood smoke, often described as reminiscent of the scent of a fireplace on an autumn evening. The individual elements of the tobacco blend are well-balanced, which is appreciated by experienced enthusiasts of English tobaccos. Due to its quality and historical significance, My Mixture 965 has been globally recognized and inducted into the Pipe Tobacco Hall of Fame.
