I don't smoke just one single blend or mixture, but 3 different ones depending on how I feel or what time of the day it is. I usually start the day, after my breakfast, with Dunhill's Elisabethan Mixture, then move onto Royal Yacht and then, to finish the day, I'd smoke a bowl of Nightcap before I go to sleep, but some times I do change this rotation depending on many factors. I usually like high nicotine mixtures, the ones that will knock you off you tail, but I am not always smoking them at the end of the day. Sometimes I like starting the day with a good nicotine kick and them move onto easier blends as I go through the day. Something worth mentioning is the fact that all Orliks blends, who by the way took over from Murray a few years ago, do contain less nicotine than the former ones (namely Royal Yacht and Nightcap), but these are still good enough for my money. If I could, I'd choose the former Balkan Sobranie over Nightcap, but sadly enough they don't make it any more. I personally don't like aromatics or cavendishes. When I am introduced to a new tobacco, if it smells really good, of it it sticks in my fingers, I usually reject it. I don't like cased tobaccos and I will steer clear of most flakes as I find them insidious and very difficult to cope with. Here I would like to hear about your favourite rotation and how you choose it.
