Dunhill International Review

I got a box of Dunhill International from a friend two day ago and just tried to smoke it today. The cigarette is short enough compared with the others brand, the length of blended tobacco part is twice of its filter length.

The filter is the new advanced flow filter system (also called as taste flow filter. Or smooth flow filter), the cigarette blended in international standard blend of Dunhill. From the light-up until finish it takes seven minutes.

When the cigarette takes out from the box, it smells a little bit tobacco and the aromatic of it sauce. The first puff it rich of tobacco and earthy flavors and original sweet of tobacco leaf.

Not likes any others filter cigarettes, this Dunhill blend is not so fruity or much sweet, but it is rich of original tobacco.

In the two-third to finish, it is coming a little bit spicy of Virginian tobacco taste, and the puff become warmer.

Believed this is a high quality blend of Dunhill standard. The tobacco uses for blend is a high quality Virginia and Oriental tobacco leaves.

The cigarette was blended for the international market, which is why the flavor and aroma is light and soft, as an international standard of Dunhill.

The tastelock system applied in the flip-top box is to protect the humidity inside the box more constant.

The new filter with advanced flow (a hole/hollow in the middle of the filter) is dual layer acetate that the inside layer is a pores acetate to makes puff of smoke characters more soft, but still bold.
