   Has anyone given this a go? I just bought a tin of the stuff today and then was forced to try and drive an hour home without opening the tin...didn't happen! Man this stuff smells good...really, really good. I'll definitely come back with an update after a few bowls.

   Never tried it. I'm looking forward to your take on it though.

   I got a tin a few months ago. If you like 3 Nuns you're home. Very nice.

   Since papipeguy mentioned this in an earlier post, I am adding it to my next order.

   I got a sample from a friend and member here, and it's great! It's a good, all-day/anytime smoke that is dependable and not too complex, but keeps your interest.

   @papipeguy"
   You say it's like 3nuns?
   Does it remind you of the old blend or the udated verison?

   tab812, Cocktail Hour reminds me of the 3 Nuns blend I smoked in the 1970's; if that's a help to you.

   It's really, really good.

   Don't tell anyone, and I'll deny it if you say anything, but my personal opinion is that it IS Three Nuns in a different package.

   Has anyone compared Three Friars to the Villiger Cocktail Hour? Pipes & Cigars has the description of it being close to three nuns as well.

   FYI Kevin, Villiger's Cocktail Hour isn't on luxurytobaccoreviews.com just in case someone wanted to review it.

    Or maybe they added a 4th nun!

    This is turning into a nun-sense thread.

    In all honesty has anyone actually tried it?

    Is it really like 3 nuns?
