Well, indeed, it's a good choice in the late evening, when you're full of Ni and you want just to rest and relax with your pipe. Excelent, sweet, soft, raisin-like Va (there is sth in taste that reminds me Solani Virginia Flake) with just a touch of honey and whisky. When I smoke it I feel sun on my skin.

I've never been a connoisseur of aromatics flavoured with whisky, rum, etc., so I don't consider myself qualified to offer an in-depth review of this blend. However, I will say that Late Night is the ONLY such blend that I would ever consider smoking regularly. The tobaccos used are of excellent quality, and the topping is subtly applied. No real tongue bite here, unlike my experiences with these kinds of blends in the past.

Previous reviews seem to capture this blend very well. No prep work necessary. I took this straight out of the tin and found it broken up enough to pack immediately and the moisture level to my liking. Lit well, and had I spent more time packing it properly it would have better stayed lit for me, yet I did set it down a time or two as I was focussed on some writing. Started out a little "green" but like most virginia based blends, developed a more "woody" flavor as it got through the bowl, and the cavendish flavors really began to emerge partially through this development and continued to play a major role to the end. Great taste. Very pleasant room note - which I think deserves a little more credit. Like others have said, while this blend might not blow anyone's mind - its not complicated despite its description, it's a solid blend that deserves a spot somewhere in your regular rotation. I'll go back for more of this for sure.

Nothing fancy, but a good, easy to smoke blend at a great price. If I had read the description first, I might not have bought it, because I would have expected heavily cased cheap cavendish, but really I can hardly taste the whiskey topping, and there doesn't seem to be that much cavendish. There are some darker strands in this broken flake, but the appearance and taste is Danish mild Virginia. This would be a great blend to take on the road, because it is at perfect smoking moisture (almost dry) right out of the tin, and does not need to be broken up further, though it can be. A very typical mild Danish offering, and though I can't see it blowing anyone away with its brilliance, I could see myself cellaring a few tins since they are just over $5 each, and the user-friendly nature of the blend is a welcome break from my usual Lakeland flakes and plugs. I don't always want to deal with the prep work.

When I cracked a tin of this and lit it up, I was immediately surprised that it has not received more attention. This is a very high quality tobacco. It's a bit rough around the edges, perhaps, and gets bitey if it's puffed too hard, but it has excellent VA flavor, nice body, and a pleasant amount of nicotine. I was reminded of Marlin Flake in the mid-tones, but to be honest I think I might like this better, with all due respect. It burns beautifully, and the whiskey topping, though very subtle, intensifies into a delicious background flavor after the mid-bowl point. Maybe the low price point is a factor in some luke-warm reviews I have seen of this stuff. It's a steal at the price, and is better than many much more expensive tobaccos. I recommend it highly!

Late Night … A coarsely rubbed out flake, medium brown in color with some yellow and dark strands here and there. Judging by the small amount of dark colors, I’d say this blend contains only a small amount of black Cavendish. Tin (50g) aroma is of mostly tobacco, and something else, typical of tobaccos from Denmark. The moisture content is right on for me, I like my tobacco a bit dry. So I just folder the longer strands and stuffed the bowl, with no additional rub out. Light up is sure and quick, kind of special, for a flake tobacco. Once underway, there is plenty of tasty smoke, more than many Virginias I’ve tried. Overall mild, dry and completely bite free, with a flavor that reminds me of Sail Yellow (also Danish), only smoother, and a bit higher in nicotine, A tad too mild for my every day smoke but never the less, real nice. I’d say there is probably at least some burley in this mixture, but subdued, with the typical flavor of Danish Virginias being most evident. Overall the best word to describe this blend is “gentle” but still tasty and flavorful, you can mindlessly smoke bowl after bowl, fast or slow and still it stays friendly. I can see this stuff becoming very popular over time, and as of this writhing, a good $$ value. So if this sounds like your kind of smoke, give it a try. 3 stars My personal rating 4/5

This blend is okay for the average smoker. The room note is average to any regular blend i really didnt find any irish whiskey taste or anything that was advertised the nicotine levels did feel a little high however this wasn't a problem at all for me. Also there is a hit of honey in there that i wasn't expecting. All three of these blends smoke completely differently and i would recommend all three they are definitely a great experience for different reasons the Early Day, Mid Day, and Late Night all were worth the price and a try.

This had all the ingredients of being an excellent blend for me. It's a rubbed out flake of quality Danish style Virginias and a little black cavendish. Smokes beautifuly and cool. The Irish whiskey is apparent in the taste and the honey is slightly noticable in the background. I think that flake style smokers will like this a lot. Great for evening enjoyment. My problem is with the nicotene. If you're a fan, this blend will suit you very well. Unfortunately, the N level is too much for me to bear.
