Dunhill Nightcap

Description: A rich blend for late in the day. It is a slow, lasting smoke. Just prior to packing, expensive Perique tobacco is added to enhance the bouquet.

The tobacco is a mix of Light Medium and Dark tobaccos, heavily smelling of Latakia and spice, i would say a medium strength aroma (Balkan Saseini being stronger)I let the tobacco sit for about 5 minutes as it is a bit wet.

It packed very nicely into my Generic Italian Bent Apple (my english pipe) and lit very easily giving me a nice rich latakia flavor in the mouth. I only had to relight it once after the initial tamping and it stayed lit very nicely producing a dark grey ash.

The flavor in the fist third was a little thin, mostly a light latakia flavor, i couldn't really detect the Perique, about 1/3 of the way through though was a different story, the spicyness just took over, it was like "BAM" spicy, i found this to be the best part of the bowl, in the last third it mellowed down a bit finishing with a good balance of the spice and the latakia.

Overall, I would say that this is a very enjoyable tobacco, i think this will stay on my list of regulars I give it a 4.5 out of 5. I need to smoke a few more bowls to get a concrete read on this, but a very enjoyable evening.
