Peretti Midnight
(2.75)
This is one of our most unusual blends. A combination of all black tobaccos, formidable to look at, but it is mild and smooth with rich full spicy flavor.

Absolutely delicious. The smoky latakia steals the show. The virginias and perique slowly unmak themselves the longer you smoke it, but remain in the background. This is a rich, full flavored smoke that tastes of campfires and barbeque. First smoked this on the trawler after coming back into the harbor with a catch of fish - the sunrise coming over the North Atlantic. Like whiskey, sometimes our favorite ones are based on the experience and not just the flavor profile. For this tobacco, I think it is both. I will smoke this anywhere, anytime.

Latakia lovers take notice now! There is a new player on the field and his name is Midnight. This is what C&D's Black Dawg aspired to be. All black,all natural, and absolutely unique. It is 1 of the smoothest Latakia blends on the market. The Perque gives a wonderful TANG to this blend. The cavendish keeps it mellow and the Latakia gives it flavor and strength. Needs to be experienced. Potent and grand! I love it! 4 English stars.

One look at the midnight-black tobaccos in this blend and I was salivating. I find that Black Cavendish takes a Virginia-Lat combo to a new level by smoothing it out a bit and adding a bit of sweetness, and the addition of spicy, figgy Perique is very exciting for a Perique lover (me!). It lives up to its promise. I wish the Lat were toned down a bit and the VA a bit more forward, and sweeter. OK, a little more Perique would work, too.
Even so, this is a marvelous smoke. I did not find it monotonous, but deep and rich; the tobacco quality is first boat. Many today seem to have a rather persnickety insistence on "complexity" that "challenges," but I am not offended by a blend whose flavors do not whirl like a carousel. I enjoyed it deeply from start to finish, down to a white ash. Billows -- billows, I tell you -- of deep, rich smoke. The Lat alternately surged and hid, which I rather enjoyed, and the Lat pullbacks brought either the VA or Perique more forward. It has a mildly spicy character, probably due to the Perique, but it's not too spicy for most folks, I think. It's powerful, but smooth. Lat-bombers, look elsewhere. The tin note is smokier than the smoke itself.
The room note is a love it or hate it kind of thing. I liked it, lady not so much. But as she said, she "respected" it. Packed and burned well. If you like Ainglish blends, you should try Midnight.
