I swear this blend tasted like Dunhill's "Nightcap Lite." The depth of flavor the old Dunhill classic presents is much richer, but I still thought this one was similar enough for a comparison. Too much "oomph" for all day consumption, but a nice change of pace English with Perique.

Bufflehead's "Redhead Duck" interested me by the idea it might be a bulk alternative to CAO's Midnight Ride. Redhead Duck turns out to be a nice blend that packs and lights and burns very well. It also produces a good volume of quite tasty smoke and, obviously, is less expensive than MR. I can't bring myself to say Redhead Duck is the "equal" to Midnight Ride, mostly because MR consistantly smokes cooler for me in any size pipe and its' Perique is more controlled (like my Perique that way). But anyone who likes MR is very likely going to enjoy Redhead Duck and certainly won't mind the lower price of Redhead Duck. And candidly, you lads who dote on Perique may well like Redhead Duck even better than MR. I'm going to keep some Redhead Duck around to "pinch-hit" for my MR once in a while because it is, in fact, a nice blend of quality leaf that is very well worth a try.
