Subjective Question - FMC or GLP Quiet Nights

Do you have a preference between C&D (GLP) and McClelland? If so, go with the blender you prefer.

I would be willing to get. McCllelland tattoo. But none of the Frog series trips my trigger. I'd go with Quiet Nights

I was thinking just the other day about how cool a tee-shirt with the McClelland jumping whale would be.

Go with FMC. But like you said, it's subjective.

Both are excellent blends. I'm a fan of Quiet Nights, but you won't be disappointed with FMC either. Hard choice, either way you choose hit me up and I'll send you a sample of the one you didn't pick.

Nights is darker with nice thick smoke

FMC is a good smoke can be a hint of sweet with smokey

For me it's a what I'm in the mood for when I pick between the two like coffee or tea I like both it's just what am I in the mood for most

You can't go wrong with either to be honest they are both good tobacco

Pick what ever and maybe I'll trade you for something I have you might like more haha

I'm personally not the biggest GLP fan but a huge McClelland's fan so I would say FMC.

Hardly subjective, it's a fact of human nature and the food industry. Add sugar, and it sells.

Quiet Nights is a respectable English-Balkan: along with others in my daily rotation... several Esotericas, Special Latakia Flake, Pelican, Balkan Sobranie (old or new), a couple/three Seattle Pipe Clubbers, and my everyday LJPeretti birding blends.
Frog Morton is a trick-of-the trade product. Sure, I was a fan of FMs at first. But the more I got into traditional Lat-forward blends, the more I was turned off by the syrupy sweetness of The Frog in all its variations.
Aquadoc, if I'm headed out into the cedarglades for the day -- I'm taking Quiet Nights!

It's hard to beat the Dark Lord on his own own turf of the dark smoky weed. About two years ago I fell in love with latakia and during this time I smoked a number of such blends, "Quiet Nights" and "Nightcap" among them , and my favorites in the end. I don't remember with any exactness why I found QN so very good, but I could say that it had a very dark, almost brooding quality. Its was longer ago still that I smoked any "Frog Morton," which although good did not cause me to recollect the glory of Mr. Pease's creation.
I had a similar experience with "Gaslight."

Two very different blends. I can't say I've smoked more than two bowls of either but I am very familiar with many Pease blends and the Frog Morton series.
Pease English blends are for me quintessentially English; what I mean by that is that they feel at home along side older Dunhill, Rattay's, SG and Germain English mixtures and are rarely more than lightly sweet. There are few Pease English blends I haven't enjoyed and Westminster is possibly the finest tobacco of any sort that I have ever smoked. My admittedly poor recollection of QN is that is is on form for the blender. If traditional English/Balkans are your thing, this is your choice.
Frog Morton Across the Pond and On The Bayou are some of my favorite tobaccos but in general I think of the Frogs as crossover blends that bridge the gap from aromatics and lean heavily towards English. ATP was the blend that moved me away from aromatics and I still enjoy it from time to time. OTB is in my top 5 favorites though I struggle to think of it as a Balkan because it isn't what I would consider a traditional Balkan. I love it just the same.
While I find the original Frog extremely monochromatic I really enjoyed the few bowls of FMC I smoked (even purchased a few tins). I don't like tobacco that's too sweet early in the morning so this is the type of thing I gravitate towards after lunch or dinner as a desert smoke. It's not overwhelming sweet, but its definitely more sweet than traditional English blends.
If sweet and aromatic are your thing FMC would be a great tobacco to try that contains traditional English components. If you like traditional English but get the occasional sweet tooth and don't do straight Virginias, absolutely. I would think the room note would be a crowd pleaser; I get complements from people who hate tobacco when I smoke OTB.
Hope this helps.

Get whichever one you haven't tried yet.

They're both top notch blends.
In my research it turned out that Quiet Nights is one of the most popular Lat-Bombs that Pease makes.

It's definitely good, though maybe not much different from other good Latakia heavy blends.

Quiet nights.........

Aquadoc, that is the sort of question only you can answer. You will get fans of both blends claiming you should chose that particular blend over the other but where does that get you?
As stated, it is so subjective.
I would suggest reading the reviews of both on Tobaccoreviews.com and then decide based upon what aspects of each blend most appeals to you.
Regards,
Jay.

I like both blends, I do have more Quiet Nights in the cellar than FMC which says something about my preference.
