Question about Dunhill tobacco and question about McClelland tobacco?

I'm weeding out my tobacco collection for an eventual trade, and I'm trying to recall which tobaccos I've tried.

1. Which brand of McClelland's smells like ketchup in the tin; Oriental Cavendish or Holiday Spirit (unsure of the year; whichever was cheaper in 2009?)
   
2. Was it 2008 or 2009 that had the lower price last Christmas?
   
3. What is the difference between Dunhill 965 and Dunhill My Mixture 965?

Thanks guys -

I dont think either of the two you listed stink like ketchup. I've had the holiday spirit and do not remember it stinking like ketchup. IME I've only gotten the "ketchup" stink from mainly VA blends

Not sure about the price thing. I know I picked up 3 tins last year of xmas cheer they were 14 and the price was very similar this year also. 14-15$ McClellands hike the price on all of their tobaccos this year. But oddly enough xmas cheer is still around 15 if shopped around. I'm expecting it to climb to 18+ for the 2010 go round.

As for the dunhill cant help ya on that one. Tobaccoreviews only has my mixture 965, maybe they are one in the same?

Hm...well, I'm thinking I tried both since they were both in my containers, but who knows. Anyway, I'm listing the Holiday Cheer (believe it's 2009, I think I had a notion to start fresh) and the Cavendish with it, so I'm not too worried about it.

Thanks Frank.

Just opened my holiday spirit, and.my ketchup expert, could not get a ketchup scent.

Must be the Cavendish....dunno. Thanks for the test, Sean. Into the trade pile it goes.

I believe the Dunhill Mixtures are the same.

Lovely marketing strategy lol thanks Mike.
