Dunhill Nightcap

GH&Co Dark Birds eye

While these are favorites, I don’t smoke the discontinued blends as often as I’d like as I have them in limited supply.

Hi guys, Really thanks for all the recommendations.
Many of yours mentioned the nightcap. Is it still in production so you can buy from the States? As I browsed all major tobacco shops in England, they all no longer sell the nightcap anymore. Never try it, but it sounds should be really tasty.

 

[piperRowan]

@workman Thank you for your recommendations! Just wondering how many minutes or maybe hours you do for drying the SG Full Virginia? I find it so moist.
@sablebrush52 thanks mate! it is a really comprehensive list!

Saddlebrush is probably hitting it for me. I rotate (or binge?) from group to group.

But always near the forefront for me are probably vaper-kentucky blends like

Cumberland, CD Speakeasy, 3 nuns, CD bluegrass, billy budd blonde

That said as I light up Chenet’s Cake- there’s too many regulars to list

Dunhill blends, of which Nightcap was one, were discontinued last year. Apparently, STG bought the rights and will reissue them, but you should expect a different product.
The fabled Nightcap and Early Morning Pipe can now only be found in obscure corners of tobacconist shops or at scalping prices online. Looks like you're out of luck on that one. On the other hand, if you never tasted it you won't miss it; plenty of other tasty(ier) blends out there for you to enjoy.
