Hello fellow pipe smokers, as the title says there are two questions I'd like your wisdom on.
VaPer:
I have never smoked a VaPer mix, but feel the profile will suit my tastes. I am looking at Dunhill Navy Rolls, or Elizabethan, and from reviews and descriptions feel the Rolls will suit me better because I like heavier tastes. What should I expect if 90% of my pipe experience so far has been Latakia-heavy English blends? I am asking because I tried a bowl of straight Virginia and found it very lacking in flavour.
Peterson Nightcap:
The last time I smoked a Dunhill Nightcap is more than 2 years ago now, to the point I have nearly forgotten what it tastes like (although I pull out my last tins and smell them, gives me goosebumps because I feel it blows everything else out the water). I remember the experience though, obviously biased by all the decades of reverence to this blend: strong, thick, heavy, delicious. I can now get hold of the Peterson brand of Nightcap, I read it is essentially the same thing with a different name. Shall I go ahead and buy a good number of tins? I usually always bought 1 tin at a time as I smoke perhaps 2-3 times per week, so tins last me ages.
