Irish Oak is a nice enough blend, but a little too much perique for me. I smoked one tin and never re-ordered.
Nightcap is considered by many to be the classic "full English". I haven't smoked any in years, but used to enjoy it. I never felt it was a must have, though. I might pick up another tin to reminisce with, but I am not in a hurry to do so.

Given the choice, if I could only smoke one tobacco for the rest of my life it would be Nightcap.
I don't consider Irish Oak an aro. It's a VaPer. Peterson doesn't list it with their aros. Peterson pipe tobacco page
Nitecap is my go to , have to smoke 1 bowl in am and 1 bowl in PM , I have a big drawer full of Nitecap, don"t want to run out. The old cajun
Nightcap is probably one of the best "English" blends. If nothing else, it's very unique. A warning, it is a huge nic hit. Try it in a small bowl first if you can. Definitely my favorite though, you should enjoy it.
I think night cap is a very good English blend (I always keep a tin around) however, for Dunhill blends I prefer 965 which is for me the best blend offered by Dunhill and EMP since it is a bit lighter than night cap (bit less nicotine fits my taste more). In all cases hope you will enjoy it 
For the Irish oak I didn't try yet, hopefully soon

I'll let you know my amateur opinion once they arrive. Should be here in 5-6 days. I think I'm going to wait till my Irish Seconds pipe gets here to smoke the Irish Oak though. Simply because of the Irish in the names haha.
I got them both today from the Post Office Box near town, and I decided to open up the Irish Oak first, saving the Nightcap for the after midnight club. Upon opening the tin I was a bit nervous, being used to the sweet sugary cherry smell of the PC packed Smokers Pride I've been puffing on. But I could immediately tell a difference, having had to let the old Cherry Cavendish dry out overnight. Even just packing my bowl, I could tell that this was going to be a whole different ball game. I gave it a false light and watched the strands of tobacco dance when the flame touched them. Lightly tamping, I became more excited than nervous, and as I put my next match to it and lit, a whole new world was opened up to me. I got a hint of something sweet like a faint childhood memory of a candy store. Being that this is only my 2nd pipe tobacco I've had, the first being Smokers Pride Cherry Cavendish, all I'll say is that this was a breath of fresh air, so to speak. A hint of sweetness throughout the first half of the bowl, and then something pleasant that I can't describe, perhaps when I have more experience. Anyways it was a very pleasant smoke, no tongue bite, and compared to my first tobacco, I was living in the Ritz.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, my only gripe is that I only packed 3/4 bowl to try it out. Should of packed a full bowl.
