Dunhill Nightcap

[jlong]

I didn't realize Nightcap has been back for some time now (was away from pipes for awhile). I understand it's blended by Orlick. Anyways, got a fresh tin and after not having any for a couple years, it's like the old school Nightcap I remember. A pleasant Latakia kick along with some sweetness and somewhere down the bowl, finishes off with a good nicotene buzz. Anyone else have opinions about the Orlick version?

Only remember the prior Lane version. Haven't tried the new release. In fact still have an unopened tin from 10+ yrs ago that I need to get a round tuit.

Cheers,

RR

Slightly off question: What's the Perique like in Nightcap? Being a "Per-wuss," I don't mind a little (ala Rattray's) but not Escudo.

...?

Good. I'm an EMP fan by quite a bit, so I know the blends are okay. 8) Thanks!

The perique comes off mild to me. The reactions on the Tobacco review forum are a mixed bag. It is strong and full bodied. Gets an occasional hiccup out of me.:drunken:

I don't consider Nightcap my all time favorite, but a tin never lasts me long. In fact, I go though Dunhill tins of all varieties at a frightening pace.

My original observation applies to the recent version.

You describe it quite well and put it in words much better than I did.

Nice, Carlos. Glad to see someone else using food analogies and metaphors with tobacco. :lol:

Now I really want go get some! I like Dunhill stuff sometimes just for the tin art, but it helps if I like the blend.

With a few relights, it smokes OK for me straight out of the tin but seems a little damp. I tried drying it for 30 minutes and it lost its touch.

My current go to blend. The tin I'm smoking from wasn't overly moist, so 15-20 minutes will dry it out nicely.
Love this stuff!

 

[jlong]

OK, I'll try a 10 minute dryout. Love the stuff too. Ordered three more tins.

I find that to be good practice with almost any Lat blend. The new, new, new version (read the latest version of a blend that seems to have been made by everyone other than Dunhill for a longtime) of Nightcap is better than the last.

Three? Back-to-back? Holy wow. :lol:

Well, not back to back. I let the bowl cool between loads. 10 minutes to cool is a long time.
