Nightcap or 965?

[judcole]

I never understand why Dunhill Standard doesn't get more attention. I'll take it over either 965 or Nightcap.

I haven't had any luck with either but after trying some wet Star of the East the other week (I wanted to add moisture before cellaring) and finding the flavour greatly diminished, I'm second guessing myself now on whether it just wasn't dry enough (noob mistakes, *sigh*).

Nightcap because....Perique!

Love Nightcap and like 965. Wouldn't say no to either. London Mixture is also quite good.

Like 'em both but have bought and smoked more 965.

 

[rblood]

I love them both (preferably in large quatities), depending on mood.

I'm really loving the 965 the more I smoke it.

Mine just arrived, but it'll be a few days before I can get to it! Anticipation!

Both are excellent blends. I prefer the richness of Nightcap though. Plus I like healthy doses of Latakia.

Somebody on here once wrote that Nightcap should be called "Nightstick". :lol: I'm more inclined to believe that's the truth after just taking a quick whiff off a fresh tin. I can't stand the smell of the stuff. The little sample I was given seemed to smoke me out of my bedroom without ever being lit.
MM 965 is excellent. I only tried a sample of it, but it was quite flavorful and not at all overbearing. :clap:

My first try with nightcap was overwhelming on an empty stomach- lesson learned. I remember standing up and wobbling around. Lol
965 during the day, great smoke
Nightcap after dinner-another great smoke

Jud. Standard never really did much for me, found it kind of bland

And here we are 2 years later and still, nothing beats 965 for an English blend. Nightcap is still excellent and I did find GLP Quiet Nights to rate up there with Nightcap. Nothing beats 965 though.

I think that The Aperitif is somewhat better. I also have a tin of BB1938 which I have yet to try.

 

[noseflute]

Both are excellent! Have you tried the Baby's Bottom (BB1938) ? It is even smoother...

MM965 was my first english I ever smoked and I got hooked with it. Very nice taste and it´s really an allday smoke. Nightcap I prefer to smoke at night as the name recommends..It´s more complex and stronger so I have to relax more and be more focused while I´m smoking.

 

[tavol]

Whilst I enjoyed both I preferred Nightcap over 965 as it's richer and feels more decadent. It's been a while since I've smoked either as they're not favourites.

 

[kickinbears]

i have more Nightcap put away, so Nightcap.

 

[mso489]

There are some good matches if these old favorites disappear under the Dunhill name. "Matches" is a relative term, but sometimes the match is different from but as good as the original.

MM965 was my "big jar blend" until Dunhill stopped shipment to the States some years back. Then switched to GL Pease's Westminster. Still very much enjoy MM965. Night cap is good, but isn't "up there" for me. Have dozen or so tins of each in the cellar.

Personally I prefer M965 as it has more pleasing taste and smell, Nightcap is good as well.
