I wouldn't say I hate perique, but I think I can detect it what i'm smoking and if I had the choice to remove it I think I would. Its got that peppery flavour i'm not real into. I haven't tried Nightcap though I have several on hand/on their way. If the perique is very noticeable in it its not a very big deal, like I said its not like I hate it, but I was wondering if anyone has some blends of the top of their head that are in the latakia/english genre without or with little perique in it for me to try. I have a can of FM original and Bayou on hand I haven't tried, I don't think original has it. I also have London Mixture, and McClelland Old Dog which I don't think has it, but it has xanthia.
