i randomly picked this up at my local tobacco shop. i havent been smoking a pipe for long, but let me tell you, this is my favorite. after gladly smoking the whole pouch, i went back for more(and most likely will continue to do so). if you've never tried it pick some up. it wont disapoint.

I bought a pouch, smoked it, and had to go back to my tobacconist for some more. To me, this is an "English" blend. And I'll probably have to go back to my tobacconist for some more by the end of the week.

This is from the perspective of a novice pipe smoker (4-5 months). The room note is excellent! I love the smell of this. There isn't a whole lot of flavor (a bit nutty?) but you can definitely tell its there. Burns fairly cool, a little wet (but not bad for an aro), and no tongue bite (for me anyway). My tongue is very sensitive to being bitten and some aromatics absolutely fry it; not so with this one. A very enjoyable and relaxing smoke.

I have to admit up front that I had zero expectations of this tobacco. I ended up pleasantly surprised. Not to be confused with Dunhill’s strong English blend by the same name, this is a full on aromatic with lovely berry/liquor casing. I don’t think it will make it into my once or twice a week bowl of aromatic only because it can burn a little hotter than others that I enjoy. The room note smells very similar to the old OTC aromatics. There is a slight chemical taste as the bowl progresses and that along with the heat makes this only a two star blend for me. But if you are looking for an inexpensive aromatic, one could do far worse than Nightcap. Somewhat Recommended.

Good smoke with a fruity, berry like aroma. Burns fine and will also bite if smoked fast. Mild in nicotine strength but more than worth trying.

Just finished my first bowl of Night Cap by Altadis. Please note, that I have yet to smoke the original, so this is not a comparison review. The aroma consisted of chocolate with some coffee mixed in. The texture seemed just right. It was a little moist, but not clumpy. It packed very well, and upon pressing it into the bowl, had a nice spring to it. It lit the first time with no need for a relight. The first part of the smoke consisted of the chocolate flavor which was very prominent when exhaled through the nose. Half way through I noticed more of a scotch flavor, while at the end, the aftertaste reminded me of tea. It smoked very cool and had a mild nic fix. No tongue bite was experienced. Overall I was very impressed! It was a great smoke for the end of the day. I would classify this as an aro, and if you are a fan of aros (or Lane 1-Q) then you will like this. If you are not, then Night Cap is not for you. I, on the other hand, will add this to my rotation and I plan on stocking up a few pounds to cellar. I give it 4 out of 5 pipes.

This is a nice puff on the back porch in the evening type of blend. As aromatics go it shows appeal. A little drying out helps, I find it somewhat on the damp side though it doesn't bite like tobaccos of this nature. Perhaps not an all day smoke but it has merit and is certainly worth a try if you like the occasional aromatic.

The tobacco shop where I buy my goodies, was having a two for one sale on Tobacco Galleria Products. I bought a pouch of this and a pouch of Fox and Hound. I now know why it was a two for one special. This Night Cap is as far from an English Blend as one could possibly get. This stuff has almost a double portion of flavoring in comparison to 1Q. Way too sweet for my palate. If you want a really flavorful aromatic, then give this one a try. I also had a really difficult time trying to keep this stuff lit. Right out of the pouch it was very very moist. Now where did I put that tin of Squadron Leader?

Sweet and with a heavy wine and berry flavor, delicious. One reviewer has characterized this blend as a ?desert? smoke, which for me sums it up very aptly. I happen to be fond of deserts and this is a delightfully full flavored smoke. Admittedly this blend fails my ?goop? test (when filling and tamping with a finger if your finger tip bears residue from the toppings it has failed) however it burns to a nice grey ash and left no dottle, have gone thru several pounds of this and my briars do not seem worse for the experience. This would rate four stars except for one major failing, it burns hot, no bite while smoking but go thru a few bowls of this during the day and your will know it by evening. Admittedly I am a vigorous puffer, and the taste of this blend is so delectable I no doubt increase my consumption speed, if only I could slow things down this would be one of my favorites.

I knew this would not be like the other night cap but it was free so I tried it. All can say is for a better smoke put a scented candle in your pipe it will taste less waxy.

This is a typical heavily sweetened dessert smoke from our friends at Altadis. Smells great, tastes decent, but is way too wet and sweet for me. It smokes pretty well for a black Cav blend.

Mostly harmless. Not much "there" there, but hey, chicks dig it and it's a decent alternative once in a while. Flavor is among the least synthetic of this line. Constrained to basket pipe though; it's like tar on briar.

now u want to talk about consistancy,here we go,right from the start this blend was like riding a kiddie rollercoaster,but of course i still like it.from the bursts of nicotine to the taste of what at times seemed like berries and wine,this blend was just back and forth,but still not unpleasant.the room aroma is the longest lasting iv'e foung to date,my house still smelled like it the next day,which was a good thing.i would recommend this,i look forward to trying it in my meershaums.

One of the better Altadis Aromatics, has a hint of vanilla and taste of raspberry. Room note is very nice. I find it a very nice complement to Dan?s Blue Note. If you like either blend, I recommend you try the other.

It's interesting that some compare this tobacco to Dunhill's Nightcap (that's the correct spelling, with Dunhill it's all one word). That is a true apples and oranges comparison. Dunhill Nightcap is a full English blend. TG Night Cap is an aromatic and, IMHO, a darned good one. It has a flavor of raspberries and cream, and keeps it pretty much throughout the smoke. For an aromatic, it lights and burns well, and does not leave the pipe goopy. It also has a very attractive price and can be found at marscigars.com. Scores for Night Cap; flavor- 15 of 20, lighting and burn- 7 of 10; value- 8 of 10. 30 points gets Night Cap a high *** rating.

If you think this may be a substitute tobacco for the Murray's produced Dunhill's Nightcap - Fuhgetahboutit! Altadis has produced a chunky ribbon/cube cut offering here that is absolutely loaded to the gills with liquor/berry casing that'll satisfy any sweet tooth. If your nose isn't working when you open the bag hoping to receive a Dunhill's Nightcap taste sensation - have a gun handy. After your first puff, you'll want to shoot the pouch.
