I agree Kerr, it would seem that someone could make a very close match if nothing else. It is kind of like when your grandma could take plain simple ingredients and make the best cake in the world, while somebody else could take the exact same ingredients and it's comes out just so-so. If that makes sense.
Dunhills Elizabethan Mixture, hands-down. Gimme a second choice, and it would be House of Windsor's Revelation.
That would be third on my list, right after Elizabethan Mixture and Revelation. Sometimes I wonder what goes through blenders' heads when they discontinue blends that have such great histories and were loved by so many. Hell, I heard that ERR was so loved by Uncle Joe Stalin that he would have his diplomats assigned to the UN and USA bring it back for him in copious quantities.
Goes hand-in-hand with my point. I just don't understand the tobacco industry sometimes. Keep crap blends like Paladin and M79 on the market, but axe classic blends that were actually good and loved by so many. Then, other blenders put out fairly successful knock-off blends of the now discontinued classics and the original blenders don't put them back on the market - thus losing sales to the knock-offs. I guess this is some aspect of marketing and capitalism that I just can't grasp.
Amphora Red (Full Aroma) is still available here. I just bought a pouch several months ago and sealed it up in a jar. It's about $30 for 50 grams here in Canada. If you want any let me know.
A and C Peterson blend 120. Came in a 2 pound plastic tub. It was a va/per and all perfect flakes standing up in the tub.
Looks good! A&C Peterson put out a lot of great blends that as far as I know haven't seen the light of day since Stokkebye bought the company.
