Il y a quelque temps, je chinais sur le ebay allemand, à la recherche d'une chose ou l'autre. Je suis tombé sur deux boîtes de tabac Dunhill anciennes, un Standard Mixture Medium et un London Mixture. Malheureusement, la description indiquait que les deux boîtes étaient ouvertes, mais pleines. Je me suis dit que je pourrais probablement réhydrater les tabacs et comme le prix était correct, j'ai décidé de prendre le risque et d'acheter les deux boîtes. Quand j'ai reçu et ouvert le paquet, j'ai vu à ma grande joie que la boîte de London Mixture était encore scellée. Oui, oui ! Sans trop réfléchir, j'ai rangé mes deux acquisitions dans ma cave à tabac. | |||
Some months ago I was going through my vintage tobacco stash, looking for something I can’t remember, when I saw the old London Mixture tin again. I took a better look at it and suddenly my eye fell upon a sentence at the downside: Hergestellt In Deutschland. What!? Made in Germany!!?? I always believed vintage Dunhill tobaccos were made in the UK, first by Dunhill themselves and later in 1981 by Murray (and from 2005 until now by Orlik in Denmark). As you can imagine my curiosity was awakened. So I started asking around on international pipe fora. On the PipesMagazine.com forum I did not get much further despite friendly reactions. Kind of logical because that is more American-orientated. | Some months ago I was going through my vintage tobacco stash, looking for something I can’t remember, when I saw the old London Mixture tin again.
