The first thing that hits your senses is the raspberry and blackberry cordial toppings. At times, I sense a little red wine. There's a touch of honey, toast and grass from the gold cavendish. Because this is black cavendish based, lightly mild chocolate and vanilla notes play to the taste buds. Needs some dry time or you'll get some wetness near the finish, but will leaves some of that in the bowl regardless of what you do. Needs some relights. Creamy and smooth with no bite, and has a consistent flavor all the way through. Has little nicotine, and can be an all day smoke. It deserves more than two stars, but in this crowded aro market, two and a half is my rating. But, smoke a bowl after dinner with some hot tea or coffee, and you may consider a three star rating, too.

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.

Sutliff Tobacco Co. - Tobacco Galleria - Night Cap.
A long time favourite morning smoke of mine has been Dunhill's Nightcap. Nothing beats a bit of Lat' in the morning! So, this morning, bleary eyed, I opened my tobacco cupboard and was drawn to the name: ''ah, a Dunhill match I bet, lovely''. Wrong-o. It's a perplexing title from the company running the Match series, but hey-ho.
A mostly black mixture with some yellow/brown highlights. I never bothered checking the unlit aroma but I knew something was amiss with the 'Nightcap copy' when I loaded my pipe and checked the packing by giving my pipe an unlit puff: a heavy scent of berries. But, loaded as it was, I went on to have a bowl!
The smoke? Heavy with blackberries, some sugar, vanilla, and alcohol. But in all fairness, the alcoholic trait isn't exactly strong. I sense more of the sweet, sugary side of the liqueur instead of the sharp alcoholic one. The vanilla's a team player throughout, not forcing the other ingredients aside resulting in a sticky mess, instead mellowing and smoothing the smoke. The burn from it's cool, very steady, fairly slow, without a bite.
Nicotine: mild. Room-note: pleasant.
Night Cap? Not a rubbish smoke, but quite run of the mill. Somewhat recommended:
Two stars.

Strong notes of blackberry with this one, but the cavendish is still present. The quality of the fruit flavour is modest, but unfortunately leaves a little more to be desired. On a positive note, the fruitiness stays until the bottom of the bowl. There is a distinct creaminess to the smoke. I wouldn't call this a nightcap, but definitely an after dinner smoke. It comes very wet, so it needs plenty of drying time. This was still damp when smoked, so it needed several relights. I can see someone enjoying this blend in their rotation, but personally it wasn't for me.

One of the free pouches I received from Altadis some years ago. If I had to guess I would say this is flavored with Blackberry Brandy but I could be wrong, it's just what my taste buds keep telling me. Not terrible by any stretch of the imagination, typical Black and Gold Cavendish ala 1Q with a somewhat mild cordial liquor topping that burns off after the top 1/4 of the bowl. I preferred the other aromatic offerings in the Tobacco Galleria lineup as I found this too mild but for the price you could do far worse. Really nice room note too.

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?

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.
