[QUOTE="williamcharles, post: 218898, member: 1968"] We know Nightcap is heavy in the lat so I'd start with 50% but go no higher than 65%, which is probably too much. Five percent perique is very noticeable in a blend so I'd try 5% to begin but not more than 15% total. I'd split the remaining percentage between the virginia and the turkish. Understand that this is a guess and is just a starting point. To get a close match, IF you did work out the proper proportions, you'd also need the same tobacs used in Nightcap. The latakia will most likely have to be Cyprian since Syrian is rarer than hounds teeth today. There are a lot of turkish strains out there so you'd have to try a few. Then there are the virginias to work on. Which strain and how much? Is there more than one strain of virginia in Nightcap? You're taking on a big job. There are a lot of questions to be answered and most of them will have to be answered through experimenting. Altadis came close with their offering. It's not a perfect match but it's good. I like it. Like Kyle said, you just may come up with a winner even if it isn't a match for Nightcap. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
