Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls

Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls

Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls, now produced under the Peterson brand, is a distinguished Virginia-Perique (VaPer) pipe tobacco renowned for its craftsmanship and balanced flavor profile.

🧱 Blend Composition & Cut

• Tobaccos: Hand-stripped Virginias from Brazil and Africa, combined with Perique from Louisiana.

• Cut: Spiral-pressed into thick ropes, then sliced into coin-shaped medallions. This “spun cut” allows for versatile preparation methods, such as the traditional fold-and-stuff or rubbing out for a finer consistency.

🌿 Flavor Profile

• Taste: Medium-bodied with a harmonious blend of natural sweetness from the Virginias and a subtle spiciness from the Perique.

• Room Note: Pleasant and unobtrusive, making it suitable for various settings.

• Strength: Medium (3/5), offering a satisfying experience without being overpowering.

Upon opening the tin, smokers are greeted with a figgy aroma complemented by hints of cut grass. The flavor profile evolves throughout the bowl, with the Virginias providing a sweet, grassy base and the Perique adding depth with its peppery and fruity notes.

🛠️ Smoking Experience

The coin-cut format allows smokers to customize their preparation. The fold-and-stuff method results in a cooler, slower burn, while rubbing out the coins can lead to a slightly warmer smoke. The blend is known for its smoothness and complexity, delivering a refined smoking experience.

🏆 Legacy & Aging Potential

Originally crafted by Dunhill, the blend’s recipes have been preserved by Peterson, ensuring continuity for aficionados. The tobacco’s construction and quality ingredients contribute to its aging potential, with many enthusiasts noting that the blend improves with time, developing deeper and richer flavors.
