Sutliff Tobacco Company Tobacco Galleria - Night Cap

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 just picked up some of night cap after really liking the creme brulee and I find that I like this one almost as much. Tasty reminds me of blueberry or red wine and a touch of maybe vanilla?, moist (let sit out for a bit before smoking), didn't bite, crackles similar to the cream burlee upon lighting up. Making this one part of the rotation.

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.

This one isnt any different than any other aromatic as far as moisture or added flavor.I just dont like the flavor.It doesnt agree with my taste buds,but try it for yourself.You may like it.

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?
