Peterson Nightcap
(3.46)
A rich blend of Virginia, Oriental, and Latakia tobaccos, intended to be smoked late in the day. It's a smoky, delightfully satisfying mixture, with a hint of Perique added to enhance the bouquet.
Notes: Formerly known as Dunhill Nightcap, STG has changed the brand name from "Dunhill" to "Peterson".

This is my first review and I am nowhere near as sophisticated as many of you, but here goes.
I smoked a pipe 15 years ago, almost exclusively Captain Black. I am back and of course started back where I left off, but wanted to experiment as I figure I am more sopphstacted myself now.
Being used to over the counters, this was a shock! Not a bad bad shock, just TOTALLY different than anything I have tried before.
It is my first Euro blend, and I decided to try it based on al of your reviews.
Keep in mind I am used to CB. Opening the tin I was disappointed. It smelled medicinal, almost like surgical tape, but hey, I decided to try it and try it I would.
It lights well and has a nice smoke. It is smooth and had no bite, but what an unusal flavor? Hard to desribe, but it realy tasted earthy. Reinded me of being outdoors.
The further I went down the bowl, the more I liked it. It is a nice difference from the CB. It was my first experience, but I look forward to my next. Perhaps it will refine my palat.
Speaking of palat, it does leave a very pleasant aftertaste. Some of the others I have had leave a bad aftertaste or leathery palat. Not here.
It was enjoyable and look forward to sampling and reviewing any other blends. Just my opinions, but I hope you have found it helpful! Thanks for having me.

So far I've smoked two bowls of Nightcap. This is the first English blend I've smoked, and so far I've enjoyed it. It doesn't really have much of a flavour, but was a very pleasant and powerful smoke. This will leave you spinning if you smoke too much of it. I'd suggest that it should be smoked slowly, or in a small bowl or in half bowls at first. Nightcap made me feel nice and relaxed and mellow while I was smoking it, and it was accompanied perfectly by a tall cool gin and tonic. I recommend it, but with a warning to be wary of its potency.

It looks like I'm #102 in this review. Three notes:
1. Perique, though minimally tolerated by me, works surprisingly well with the latakia. Peculiar full flavor I really like.
2. Do people actually sleep after this? Cripes! Half a tiny bowl woozes me big time and I'm up for the night. Nicotine abounds. I smoke this when driving at night to stay awake.
3. It's the only Dunhill I'd buy again. But it will be a while.

This blend has a taste similar to Penzance, in my opinion. The presentation is terrific, and is very easy to load. I find Penzance to be a little more satisfying, but Nightcap offers a little more "zest", probably due to its small amount of perique. Penzance is a little more earthy and subdued, while Nightcap has a perkiness that I found myself enjoying.

Like has already been said, smoke this for what it is and it is a very pleasurable tobacco. I am and probably always will be a lover of aromatics, that being said I'm trying to branch out and enjoy others. For what I would have to call a full english tobac I am sure this is about as good as it gets. I'll keep this around for the times I need a good kick in the pants. Definitely NOT an all day smoke for me. Perry

I am changing my views on this blend. I had once been so against Nightcap that I rated this one of my least favorites, due to the heavy Latakia taste in this one.
I think, instead, that I was smoking this blend with the idea of trying to make it something it clearly was not. I am primarily an aromatic smoker, so that is what I expected it to be. When it was not, I threw it away (literally) with so much disdain. I think now you have to appreciate it for what it is; a heavy English blend with a good woodsy smoke. That and the fact that I am starting to branch out. I keep a tin of this on hand for those days when I am feeling especially full of piss and vinegar.

This tobacco is really great for the nigth, before you jum in to the bed. There are a very low perique presence in the blend, and the latakia rules. The mouth taste after smoking is great. The problem is the room note, is very strong and makes the tobacco agressive for the non pipesmoker sitted next to you. Is an ideal tobacco for smoke in home, and will loved for the english blends fans.

A very odd tobbaco, diffrent from all the others I smoked before. It's hard to describe its notes, but I agree with my friend who smelled a trace of plum in it. An original and special blend, not to be smoked daily, but from time to time it can give you deep, pleaseant feeling, also uneasy to describe...
