I do believe that I've discovered my favorite blend. This is a medium to full blend with a wonderfully complex aroma with a lot going on. Not too smoky with lots of dried fruit notes from the perique and Virginias and something more that's difficult to pin down. Smokes well in a variety of pipes, lights well and needs surprisingly few relights. As for flavor, not too far from Nightcap and even 965 with a bit of age. Actually, this bend's flavors are more like that of a nicely aged and well kept tin. Father Dempsey burns cool and has no bite. Nice and smooth with abundant flavor in every draw. This is one blend that I can never tell when the end of the bowl is near - just seems to stop. Not a lot of ash and little, if any moisture. This is an unbelievable well behaved and delicious smoke. I've passed on the latest & greatest limited offerings in leu of stocking up on this pleasure. Oh, and I recommend this treat highly !
