Here’s a quick list I’ve compiled from various sources.

It’s worth noting that I started to list numbers like ‘965’ for Dunhill My Mixture 965 but then realised that a few companies like McClelland and Cornell & Diehl use numbers for their bulk tobacco blends. If you see a number referred to, e.g. “1820 in a …” just Google ‘[number] tobacco’ and you should find what you’re looking for.

Please feel free to reblog and add to the list. I’ll reflect the additions here.
