Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake Scented in a meer.
Dunhill Nightcap in the old Parker Jockey Club bent dublin. I hate to say it, and everyone is going to blow a fuse, but I just don't get it. I keep coming back to it trying it in different pipes, for the past several years, but... it's... just ok. I mean, it's not bad, just not anything special. It's not latakia forward and it's not strong. Maybe it's just this particular batch? I don't know but there are SO many latakia blends that draw me in, Lancer Slices, Quiet Nights, Star of the East, 10 Russians, all 3 Stokkebye English blends, Father Dempsey, Blackpoint, Abingdon, HH Latakia flake, British Woods, Balkan Supreme, etc., but Nightcap? It's just... meh.
Let the firestorm begin!

Smokers Haven Our Best Blend In a La Savinelli Giubleo d’Oro
It's taken a shocking amount of self control to not buy several tins this past week. I know I'll regret it, but $22 a tin is tough.
It's jumped $6 in the past 3-4 years. For me, no tobacco is worth more than $5/ounce.
I'm with you there. Having smoked Nightcap and then Vintage Syrian yesterday, I was underwhelmed by the former. Even as someone who finds all English blends unidimensional and meh, Vintage Syrian was sooo much less meh than Nightcap. Much, much nicer room note too.
Settling multiple Thanksgiving meals this evening with Three Year Matured Virginia in a Bruce Weaver acorn with a lapis mortise.
I agree, I much prefer Balkan Supreme and Presbyterian.
Lakeland Dark in a Jerry Crawford tanblast lovat.
Comoy's Cask #4 Standfast Navy Flake in a MM General with a forever stem.
Drinking a small glass of Cockburn's Ruby Port.

No blown fuses from me. I agree completely. I also found it kind of sharp and muddled tasting. There are some very good Latakia/Perique blends, but Nightcap is just kind of meh for me too.
Smoking SG Squadron Leader in my Rossi bent dog.
Dunbar in a Savory's Semi-Matte 395 apple.
Close to finishing this bowl of MacBaren Golden Extra in a 2002 smooth Rinaldo Silver Line 3 EGER 05 paneled horn with a black acrylic stem.
A predictably wonderful post-T-meal smoke after all have gone to bed. Quiet and calm, with gentle rain falling. Peterson's University Flake in a Dunhill Tanshell Prince from 1964. Glass of red wine. The Comoy's tin just happened to be sitting on the table.
Picayune in a Kaywoodie dublin 08 relief grain.
Did some snacking and am almost half way through this bowl of year 2016 Anniversary Kake in a smooth 1979 Chippendale (Charatan second) Rhodesian 49 with a black vulcanite saddle stem. A cup of Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.
GH&Co Mixture #25 in a Comoy's Criterion.
Almost half way through this bowl of Robert McConnell Red Virginia in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem.
Now smoking Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight 1960s Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420 with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
