Lights Out

First time trying this particular tobacco. Love the oaky flavor. Burns well.

Gentle smoke with good flavor.

GRAND old FAVE! The latakia is Cyprian, not Syrian, one can tell that. Still, it's a fabulous old steady, great any time of day or night, strong enough and full flavored. Grab a couple tins, you'll enjoy it thoroughly!

Peterson NightCap is a superior blend of Latakia and perique . Dunhill blends have always been a favorite of thousand of veteran smokers and thank you Peterson for continuing this favorite blend . A great smoke to end the day and you want be disappointed. The full flavor and mid hit of nicotine is wonderful. The blend is one of the best blends ever made by Peterson they keep the same recipe that Dunhill used . They carry on the tradition of great blending and history you want be disappointed.

being old enough to have smoke Balkan Shabani. l find this to be very close to what I remember. Now, one of my favorites.

This is truly a flavorful blend for end of day smoking.

I smoke the aromatics for the people around me. I smoke Peterson Nightcap for me. Love the taste. By far my favorite.

great smoke

I'm a big fan of many years. Great blend for later in the evening and it pairs well with various liquors.

First time smoking a non aromatic, smells and tastes like a campfire. Good for the occasional smoke for me definitely different if your used to aromatics!

My favorite english blend. Black House is rich, smoky, full flavored and intense. It may not be suitable for an all day smoke, but for those special breaks where you want something with some oomph, Black House has you covered.

My go to non-aromatic. I love this stuff.

Classic for a reason good stuff

Nightcap has an excellent flavor and a smooth nature. It is now one of my favorites.

Great scent to the nose before and after smoking. Flavor is subtle, not too robust. Very enjoyable.

Such a great one and one of my favorites. Tired it in different pipes and I like it best in the Peterson Donegal Rocky XL90. Seems to be just right for this tobacco.

I enjoy trying new blends. It helps to broadened my experience. I am experimenting with English blends and wanted to try some of the best selling ones like Peterson Nightcap. It has a nice earthy aroma and not too bitter taste to leave too much of an unpleasant aftertaste.

Very flavorful. Smooth and relaxing. Enjoyable buy.

What a pleasurable smoke! I smoke it several times a day. I wish it were in bulk.

From the tin: "BlackHouse is an award winning Latakia based blend with Virginias, Orientals, Dark-Fired Kentucky, Perique, and a bit of unflavored Black Cavendish to emulate an old classic." I must say that this is, in fact, an "award winning" blend. The first time I smoked BlackHouse, I fell in love with it. Prior to that, I had never smoked any blend that contains Latakia. I was pleasantly surprised. This blend is drier than some other blends, and therefore, I was a little uncertain at first. Dry tobaccos burn faster, but if you pack the bowl correctly, it will last. This blend has become a staple in my rotation. I have come to really appreciate the pungent aroma, which is quite intense. For me, the finish is very wonderful and tasty! I would definitely recommend BlackHouse to any pipe smoker!

I like this mixture. It smoke well and has plenty of flavor. It is a nice smoke to enjoy once a day in the evening.

close but not quite there

Very mild and like all Peterson products well made

Slow burn, good taste, and good room note.

Extremely flavorful, classic lat-bomb. Accept no substitutes. This blend is legendary because it is really, really good. Probably best at night or in the cooler months. I don't know if I'd find this appealing at noon in Phoenix in the summer (that's Virginia season).

Very nice English

High quality tobacco taste’s great.

Tin Note Tangy and smoky, kind of like BBQ chips. Hint of leather. Very subtle sweetness. Tasting Notes First thing I get is a tingle on my tongue, which I find pleasant, followed by that peppery Perique. Beef jerky. Great mouthfeel, like a chewy smoke but oh so smooth. Some bread and floral wood flavors come in and help balance everything out. I don't really get any of that "darkly sweet" flavor. Nightcap is strong and robust, definitely meant to be enjoyed after a meal. Can't wait to buy more.

Not really quite what I was expecting.

I want to give an update. I've had my new tin for about 2 months now, smoked about half of it. Just the short amount of aging that has taken place with Nightcap since I got this tin has done absolute wonders to it. I'm really surprised. People aren't exaggerating when they say aging this blend changes it. It is now much softer, smoother, and SIGNIFICANTLY sweeter. I get sweetness in every puff. All the rough edges (there are many with a brand new tin) are completely gone. Nightcap has really taught me not to judge a blend too soon. If you don't like it at first, please open the tin, fluff it up, and do this a few times over the course of a month or two. This blend has become very sweet and just so much better even though it was already amazing. See my first review for details.

I'm a new pipe smoker, cigars for a little over a year, and many blends I've tried tend to burn the mouth. Peterson Nightcap is extremely smooth and is my go to tobacco, morning, night and throughout the day.

A great smoking blend that is all it's cracked up to be. If your new, like me, watch all the review videos. You'll be able to pick up all the info your looking for to see if you want to try it. That's what I did, and I was not disappointed. Easy to smoke and full bodied. It's a rich smoking mixture that is consistent throughout the bowl.

As advertised. The perfect nightcap.

To each his own. Blackhouse is a good smoke, but it doesn’t have the same flavor and room note as Peterson Night Cap. I bought it by mistake and was sorely disappointed.

This is AMAZING!!!!

Very good smoke. Since I bought the battle I'm doing a comparison. Blackhouse and nightcap do have some similarities. Blackhouse has an edgier taste. Possibly more Virginia or different varieties. Nightcap is a smoother smoke from start to finish. Both are very good. Full rich flavors. Nightcap smokes a tick cooler for me. For people that like a full smoke , as I do, both are really fulfilling. This was a great purchase.

Perfect evening smoke

Well I stand corrected, my initial 3 star review did not hit the mark. I did what another reviewer had recommended with new tins of Nightcap: open the tin, fluff it up and air it out for just a few minutes. Store it and come back in a week or two and do the same thing again. A few days later and voila! No harsh bitterness. I enjoyed a hefty bowl of this last night and was absolutely enchanted. There was no stale mushroom vinegar flavor, and it has thickest creamy smoke of any tobacco I've tried, and lots of great flavor. This was not bitter and stale tasting like when I first opened the tin. The difference was stark. It really did taste like a heavier early morning pipe with more spice and a deeper slightly sweet something. I had one of the best night sleeps after that bowl that I've had in a while. After this bowl, there's not really any other tobacco that I'd want as my night time blend. Just to help others get an idea, my other favorite tobaccos are Peterson EMP, SPC Plum Pudding, Cascadia Vertical Limit, Gawith 1792 Flake, and Capstan Original.

My mornings start with EMP with coffee, and end with Nightcap with a wee dram of scotch.

I’m updating my first review since I’ve decided to smoke this a bit more before aging. Some things I’ve noticed. At least with my new tin, I had better results letting this air out for 15/20minutes before packing. There is a very baarely noticeable sweetness that can develop from the virginia and I assume perique as you get to halfway or more through the bowl. I do like how the perique builds toward the end. It breaks up the monotony and bitterness of the Latakia/orientals. I did find this smoke satisfying, and I really think if it was naturally more sweet, it would be much better to me. I think it is best at night. It had a thick spicyness that did satisfy me. I can tell it is a quality tobacco, but still a let-down compared to the hype and what I’ve experienced to being on the market as alternatives. I’d be curious as to how this compares to BlackHouse. I also really don’t like how this overwhelms the pallet and stays on the tongue even well after drinking and brushing, and sleeping! I guess if you like the flavor that lingers this would be a good thing for some. I for one could still not taste much of my breakfast the next morning, not a positive strike in my opinion, a very negative one. This is one of the features of many cigars that I don’t like, and why I think piping is better to me. I think for my tastes I much prefer a dark fired earthiness, like wood, leather, bbq, floral, spicey nutty (American style English) to the English style English which is bitter stale mushroomy, floral but less so, campfire but less so —If that makes sense, comparing nightcap to a very typical darkfired untopped American style blend. Again I will age my tin, and look forward to smoking it once in a while for maybe a change of palette.The blend didn’t feel heavy, but rather, thick which is a good thing. I just really really don’t like how it overwhelms the taste buds for like more than 12 hrs. This wouldn’t be a problem if all I smoked was Nightcap I suppose.

I've smoked it for 25 years. What more can I say???????

I'm new to pipe smoking, but so far this is my favorite! I have purchased approximately 15 differing tobaccos...

This will be in my regular rotation here on out

Wonderful stuff. I don't wait for night to smoke this. First thing in the morn with a cup of strong black coffee is a delight. Never do I find myself wishing for more flavor with Nightcap.

It’s great. I love it.

In my discovery of English blends, I started with my mixture. I then tried many recommended blends. I finally after months get Nightcap. It is my new goto Latakia.

Excellent blend! Excellent flavor!

Perfect at anytime day or night. Nightcap is in my regular rotation.

Excellent tobacco that burns evenly and delivers complex and fragrant flavors. It does not clog the pipe as other tobaccos do. The cut is, in my opinion, very regular and easy to pack in the pipe bowl. The canister also keeps it fresh. Adding a moisture control envelope in the canister makes the whole experience highly satisfying.

Good smoke. A little blan for my taste but when I want to change it up this one does it for me

I really enjoy this blend. Just what I need at the end of a long day.

Still my go to day and night None better.

So my first impression is that when first cracking the tin, I can easily smell the Virginia's and latikia. I find it very relaxing and enjoyable and will probably keep it as my late night smoke.

Will definitely buy again

I enjoy this blend, bought a second tin to see what it is like after a few years of age.

Great addition to my English blend collection love smoking this in the evening and taking in the kick that it brings to the pallet

Love this stuff

Simply the best

Great tasting tobacco, smooth with full body. Very easy to keep lit, cool burning tobacco that immediately found its way in my rotation. I just purchased 3 more tins.

Favorite FIRST THING IN THE MORNING with coffee.

Nice smoke. My go-to.

Starts with an interesting opening and ends with a relaxing and smooth finish.

Wow, what an adventurous blend.

Great tobacco to end the night with and relax.

I keep this in my regular rotation.

Perfect way to round out any evening.

Very good replication of Balkan Sobrane but still feel White Knight is even better at doing so!

The hype is accurate, Blood Red Moon will definitely stay in the rotation.

Having only smoked aromatics in my return to pipe smoking, I was reluctant to delve into a Latakia and Perique mix. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the woodsy, earthy quality of this blend. It improved all the way down to the bottom of the bowl and was indeed the perfect nightcap to my day. Really enjoyed this tobacco!

I'm still fairly new to selecting pipe tobacco, but I was impressed by the smoothness of this blend, I enjoy it and will definitely buy it again.

Love this blend! The smell isn’t the best in the can, but the smoke us amazing. Smooth but full flavored and with a good mouth-feel. Will definitely buy again.

I tend towards English blends. I found this to fit the bill perfectly.

Too good, smoked it in 4 days!

Second best favorite, I like the Latakia

Excellent product all the way around!

Dude I just bought like four tins of this. I spend all day looking forward to the evening, so it's the appropriate time to smoke it. It is awfully strong, so I only smoke it outside, but it is an amazing end to the day.

This blend fell very sort of all the hype for me . I love latakia. While it is there it's much less than I expected. I will most likely order this again at some point . But more for a pleasant change of pace than one of my favorites.

Pleasant smokey flavor. Strong but not overpowered. Quickly became a favorite after a single bowl.

Great tobacco

Moisture is good flavor is good not great

Perfect for afternoon relaxation

My favorite blend. It is smooth, robust, complex, and a wonderful smoke in the English style. The Arabian, Latakia, and just the right amount of Perique, make a pipe full nearly a mystical experience! Originated by Dunhill, Peterson has continued to make this blend a wonderful nightcap.

Awesome

not that good. wont order again

This is by far, my favorite blend. This is my go to smoke. Many moons ago, when i heard that Dunhill was closing up shop. I panic bought several tins of this blend. I just now finished those tins, but only because i had found out that Peterson had taken up the mantle of producing it. Not only using the same blend, but from the same place where it was made by Dunhill. Those tins were a couple years old, and I will tell you, they only got better with age. Tonight, I tried my first Peterson Nightcap. I am happy. Now, memory is a fickle thing, but this gives me the same feeling, smell, and taste of the Dunhill blend. To me, the room smells of nostalgia, bringing memories of my father sitting in his easy chair having a pipe, even though he didnt smoke this brand. Thats just the note for me. I do not detect any flavors of fruit or spice, just a very mellow smell of a wonderfully aromatic tobacco. It was a bit overly moist upon first opening the tin, so you might want to let it dry out of a bit. All in all, still my favorite. Thank you Peterson. Now, shame on Pipes and Cigars.....for getting this to me so quickly. I had went out a purchased a hold over tobacco at a local place in anticipation of a wait for it too arrive. I did not expect regular shipping to be just a couple of days, so I was set to enjoy a blend I had never tried. But, alas, Pipes and Cigars had different plans for me. Thank you to Pipes and Cigars for disappointing me....in a good way. You da best!

Now one of my favorites. I smoke this most evenings while studying the Word. It’s a perfect blend in my opinion.

I find I enjoy Nightcap very much. At first I did not care for the pungent aroma when I smelled the tobacco from the can. However, now I like the smell. It's an acquired smell. The taste is good in my opinion. The first thought that came to my mind was the smell of sandalwood. I can see why this blend is called Nightcap. It is soothing and relaxing. I reccomend this pipe tobacco for only a serious pipe smoker. Good stuff.

As with EMP, I've heard NC gets better with age. I'll give it some time and come back to it.

I'll give it a simple review only because I wanted a very all around smokey tobacco and thats just what I got. I try not to search much deeper into any other flavors that Night Cap has to offer although they are there. It has an amaising room note that my wife absolutely loves. Its one that every one should try. Its a must for any English blend lover.

I didn't like this tobacco at all at first, (2.5* range), but I read other reviews and found out that everyone thought it was too dry. I bought some humidity buttons, and let things reconstitute. This is a stellar tobacco now. Great taste, and great smell!

Moderate Balkan, tolerable room note, full flavor, medium nic hit. Not an all day smoke, but nice!

One of my top two favorite blends right now (the other being SPC Plum Pudding). This was my first English blend experience and it just blew my mind and opened my eyes to the enjoyment of the actual flavor of tobacco. Just a great, consistent smoke from start to finish. I can’t recommend it enough.

A good Latakia blend my contemporary standards.

Smells a lot stronger in the tin than in the bowl. Great tobacco.

My favorite tobacco to smoke when I get home.

One of mt favorites

Full of meaty notes, smells like a fresh peaty bottle of scotch and is a fun smoke. Best described as smoking venison or beef jerky. Not for the timid!

Great tobacco.

A classic blend and a relaxing smoke. What's not to like?

Very nice and relaxing smoke. I smoke it throughout the day.

Always a pleasure ordering pipe tobacco from P&C. Order arrived quicker than I expected. Thanks.

The Best of the Best no other tobacco for me Love NightCap

Excellent flavor. I really like this stuff. To me it has a nice smooth woodsy flavor.

An excellent dark, hearty, robust tobacco for the experienced pipe smoker. I actually mix it in equal measure with Warhorse Green for what is for me the perfect pipe blend.

Great before bed or after gym.

Only have to start this up once with the flam. The first third is a strong dark leathery,oak, Pepper Taste. It smoothly transitions to a nice soothing smell that makes you feel tired with a nice nictine hit. The last of the bowl doesn’t taste ashy or anything this mixture is definitely one of the best blends that haves a amazing aftertaste that I have from this company by far. This is my opinion not a fact or anything this is what I taste probably no one else. Good luck and happy pipeing, God bless.

If I had one tobacco I could smoke for the rest of my life...Nightcap would be my top choice.

I enjoyed it enough to order more again. Finding it on sale made my purchase a bit better.

The moisture content is absolutely perfect right out of the tin. The room note is very pleasing, and the flavor is magnificent. Truly one of my top three tobaccos in my rotation!

This Blackhouse is so good it's all I smoke. I love the smell, doesn't bite. I just love everything about it.

Delicious blend!

Wonderful tobacco

Love the flavor and the aroma

One of my top blends in my collection. I love the variety of flavors in this blend

Nightcap is my favorite English blend. It taste great, smells great, comes with the perfect moisture for an easy burn, and has just the right amount of nicotine for a good relaxing smoke at the end of the day. Very deep and complex. Highly recommended for any fan of bold English blends and fans of Latakia tobacco.

Not sweet, smell of raisin and … tobacco 😊. I expected a more fuller body, but its balanced.

The tin note of this tobacco is pungent & earthy. This is a complex blend which I enjoy more with each bowl smoked. This is one to savor slowly. Very good!

This is a great Balkan, as everyone else described it. I mistakenly ordered 310s, and I was upset initially. After having tried my first few bowls though, I’m very happy for this fortunate accident.

This is a manly smoke & may be intimidating to some newer pipe smokers but it’s popularity and consistent positive reviews shouldn’t be disregarded. They are a testament to its legacy as a classic. It’s has a lovely tobacco aroma and is just a perfect English blend. The flavor is unadulterated tobacco joy. Don’t be shy & be your own judge.

Love this tobacco!

I wondered, could this be as good as all the reviews? Yes,yes it is. A wonderfully deep n rich Smokey leather flavor combines with a slightly spicy n sour undertones. Retrohale is spicy and has some staying power. You feel this blend, it’s robust and filling. Nice nic hit. My only regret, waiting so long to try this.

Good tobacco

Great all around

Im a new to pipe smoking but this is really good not much of a bite.

Love this stuff!

Great

A little bolder but pleasant tobacco with a nice taste and aroma.

An excellent end of day smoke! Mild flavor and pleasing aroma make this a favorite.

Honestly I did not know what to expect with this one. I’ve heard so many positive things, but I wanted to go into it with my own perception. This blend does something unique while it’s on your tongue, the middle of your tongue has just a full smooth almost tasteless smoke, while the edges of your tongue are experiencing smoky, Tangy, and leathery. It’s almost like experiencing that one slow song on a fast metal album. It does a really good job to balance out what would otherwise be a giant disarray of too much flavor. Where it almost feels like it’s missing something with that almost flavorless smooth smoke in the middle of your tongue, it actually brings more than enough to each bowl, so much balance. And balance is definitely a great word. I don’t think I’ve tasted an English blend that had this much balance. Great blend

New to pipe tobacco, but I positively adore this. It’s got a lovely and robust taste, a lovely hearty aftertaste. This has become a fast favorite and I will absolutely make sure this is a part of my collection.

Smooth clean flavor, a fantastic room note and aroma. It's become my favorite evening smoke.

Best English Tobacco!!

Delightful. A smooth and smoky flavored blend with perfumey notes and a little spice here and there. Deep rich and delicious. This will be a regular smoke for sure.

This is a full bodied tobacco that doesn’t overwhelm the room. It’s well balanced. It has a distinct, yet inviting, aroma. And the Latakia and Perique mix is superb. In fact, I’m considering lighting some up now as I’m writing this! Perterson’s Nightcap will be a regularly stocked pipe tobacco in my collection.

Another great smoke, early or late.

As it's title says a good smoke in the evening when your winding down from a busy day.

Love the full body taste.

A great end of the night smoke! I highly recommend it. Burns nice, smokes well and I have it part of my rotation all the time.

Easy light, a bit more mild than Pirate Kake. Love it.

I wrote a review on the Peterson nightcap tobacco last month. It was a little premature because I was not impressed with the aroma of the tobacco when I opened the can. I did however like the taste and smoke of it. The room aroma is pleasant and smoke is great and smooth and cool. I've since become a huge fan of Peterson nightcap and ordered more of it from p&c. Also the Early morning and others. My order is expected to arrive soon and I can't wait to try them all.

My favorite blend of the 50 or so i have tried. I was so disappointed when i heard Dunhill shutdown and i couldnt get it anymore. I just found out peterson is making this now, just got my order yesterday and yes i believe this is definitely the same as the Dunhill.

I like Peterson tobaccos, and this one is great.

I quit smoking cigarettes Feb. 2019 and almost started up again until a friend recommended I try smoking a pipe and not inhale. I started smoking a pipe almost a year ago and so I am still new and learning about the many pipes and pipe tobacco. My first tobacco is captain black and I liked it but still explore new ones. I found the Mac baren blends are very nice and love them. I've aquired many pipes now and have one favorite pipe that I love and it happens to be a Peterson system Plip pipe. So I figured from reading the reviews of Peterson nightcap that it would be the best. As I stated, I'm still new at the world of pipe smoking and was excited to try the nightcap tobacco. When I opened the can, I was not impressed with the aroma because it smelled sour to me. But after smoking a few bowls I have gotten used to the smell and enjoy the taste. It's a little stronger than I am used to but I do enjoy the flavor I don't notice a sweet aroma in the room but it is pleasant. I don't smoke it as a daily tobacco but it is relaxing in the evening. I'm going to try other Peterson tobacco blends and I will keep the nightcap on hand for my rotation.

Excellent English blend! Nightcap lives up to the hype. Smooth Latakia forward blend with a subtle hint of sweetness. Worth every penny!

I found Nirvana! It is ribbon-cut, so I packed it gently and tamped delicately, and it exceeded my wildest dreams. It smoked cool, and the full-flavored tobacco was loaded with complex tastes, all the way to the dottle. It relaxed me and made me feel totally at ease. It will be a standard part of my rotation.

Nightcap was one of the first pipe tobaccos that I couldn't do without. Glad Peterson is making it. Love the full bodied flavor and the smell is unique.

Strong, but Rich & Smooth

Excellent after steak!

So I've only done one smoke. But prominent on the nose taste is a lot more pepper than I expected. Like the richness, but didn't expect the dominant flavor and smell to be pepper.

Smooth smoking with great flavor. Loving it.

A relaxing bedtime smoke full of that English taste and aroma. Good night.

A great late night pipe. Russ's blend is a winner and will add this one to my rotation.

My favorite after supper smoke. It gets better every smoke

Nothing I can add about this one. A favorite. Strong, rich and flavorful. Great for a long evening smoke with a glass of good bourbon, dog at your side, as you contemplate the meaning of it all.

It's by far the very best in my mind. But I do miss the Syrian Laticia tobacco. But still have best!!

Excellent

I have recently had an interest in English tobacco. This was very nice

This is my favorite tobacco. I was unhappy when Dunhill closed it's doors but Peterson saved me by starting to sell Nightcap, I tried a tin and could not taste the difference from the original. I only smoke latakia blends and this one delivers the best taste, I never experience bite or harsh after taste.

Relatively new to pipe smoking and have found this blend to be one of my favorites as I experiment with other offerings. To me, it is very flavorful and has a nice spice.

I just had to see what the hype was about with this Night cap. It’s safe to say I smoked my entire shipment. This is everything I am looking for in a smoke. I didn’t have a pleasure to smoke the previous blend, so I can’t compare. I’m assured the blend hasn’t changed, but some are convinced it’s different. This is something they need to offer in bulk because I would buy this by the pound. My ol lady hates it, and hates the smell but she is a cigarette smoker and has no taste for pipe tobacco. I have used pipe tobacco to keep me off the American Spirits and full bodied blends like these keep me satisfied. If you enjoy this I recommend also trying Bow legged bear, purple cow, and if burley is your thing, Big Burley #103.

Latakia heaven!

A solid blend. Have been slowly dipping into the world of Peterson/Dublin, and have not been disappointed yet. I received this tin along with De luxe navy rolls and Sweet Killarney, so I would have a variety. After sampling the other two first and drifting to Nightcap in the evening I’ll admit it threw me back a bit with the Latakia, so I let it sit for about a month before I tried again. After knowing what I was smoking, it was the most relaxing experience. Definitely a smoke for around a campfire, or sitting on the porch on a fall night. The smokiness of the Latakia reminds me of my grandfathers pipe, while the perique smooths out the bowl enough relax while smoking. A good nicotine hit, but as I said, a most solid smoke.

This flavor is definitely going in my rotation. This and the royal yacht are two of my favorites now.

Great after dinner smoke!

This taste like I'm smoking the 50's....if you could smoke the 50's.

A favorite, it's a good strong smoke. But smooth. it's the BEST for that afternoon smoke.

This is my favorite blend ever in my rotation. Some blends temporarily grab my attention away, but I never get sick of this one.

This is an amazing blend. Absolutely 5 stars.

Very good dark and heavy English. Not as sweet as some of the other heavy English smokes I've tried. Worth trying, easy to enjoy.

Dank

Fantastic blend, now l understand why Night Cap is such a beloved favorite.

I’m as novice as they get when it comes to pipe smoking and I have tried several samplers but this blend is one of my favorites. This is a flavorful blend with a nice nicotine kick. The tin, to me, had more of a burnt aroma but when packed properly and smoked it really balances out. Ive only had a few Peterson brands, and certainly looking forward to trying more.

This was my first premium pipe tobacco back in 2010. It is no different from the Dunhill version. It does have a very pungent room note that is great for social distancing in 2020. :-) Great strong English flavor blend, the Nicotine is medium but on the top end of medium.

Nice complex blend. If you like complex blends that change as you smoke them you cant go wrong here. Some sweet & sour taste along with smoky dark fired and Latakia.

Strong flavor, smells of jerky, get a good buzz off it.

Sweet, dark english. Definitely one of the finer and complex English smokes I've had to date. Could easily join my top 5 rotation. Haven't tried the Balkan it's inspired by though. Exquisite late night zone bowl for sure. Must try.

Ok first takes couple go around to get accustomed to the flavor. I really enjoy the smell of the room notes. The aroma you get reminds me of Thanksgiving dinner for some reason. Now I had to smoke several bowls to of this to figure out that I really enjoy it and will definitely be purchasing again. Have to try Peterson other blends for sure now

Been a long time favorite! When in a reflective mood, it’s just the right thing! Always keep a tin on hand !

Heavy smoke and for sure an after dinner smoke! Strong English and not a good introductory to English Tobacco, but this is an English lover's must have!

Smokes well , its a great way to end the day. The aroma very pleasant. Interest in this was to see if the smoke ,taste and aroma, was the way. I remembered it 30yrs ago. The answer Yes. Thank you for bringing it back😎.

This has become my 2nd favorite blend. I find it is a bit strong (which I like) with a hint of what I remember old tobaccos smelling like as a child but without the bite like some of the other reviews claim. However, I don't "rush" a bowl and tend to sip while breathing through my nose. I also noticed that I can taste a sweetness left in my mouth hours later after smoking which I find pleasant. This blend packs well and burns evenly with only having to light it a couple times and the smoothness really comes through about 2/3rds through a bowl. As far as room notes, I find it a bit mellow and the Mrs. doesn't seem bothered by it so that's a win in my book.

My favorite tobacco at the moment. Good with any pairing and very satisfying.

Nice anytime bowl. Enough smoky Latakia to have a change of pace from typical aros. I’m no tobacconist, and I guess this is more an English blend, I like it, similar to Frog Morton Cellar in my eyes.

my all time fav at the moment! wish they had bulk would buy 2 pounds for sure

Stout. This was the only second english blend I had ever triedn and Ive got to say that probably wasn't in my best interest, but man is it delicious. Nightcap is strong in flavor, nicotine, and room note. If you like Heavy english you'll enjoy this one. It's one i'll keep around.

Dunhill/Peterson has an amazing reputation, but I just don't see it. The flavor was top notch, but it didn't burn well and had some of the worst tongue bite i've had. I've almost finished the tin, and every smoke I find myself relighting all the time and I've tried both the three-step pack and the Frank method. Maybe it's the lighting that cause the tongue bite or the smaller bowl of my pipe, either way, not super impressed.

Can’t go wrong with Nightcap, that slightly pungent aroma makes this blend even more of a surprise when it tastes fantastic

I recently tried this tobacco for the very first time, 10/29/20, around 930 at night on my porch. After watching reviews and reading reviews, I really didn’t know what to expect after opening the 10 and the note was completely different than what I thought it would be. Sticking my nose in there, and taking a big sniff, it brought me back to memories of enjoying Crown achievement with friends. There is a bit of controversy with this blend, as this is considered to be one of the heavier English blends on the market. Many people disagree, and that’s why it can be a bit of a controversy. I do have to agree, this is a very heavy blend, definitely made for experienced Latakia smokers. The tin note was absolutely phenomenal, and made me salivate while smelling it. It was perfect Goldilocks, and I could pack it directly out of the tin. Stays lit extremely well, even on a blustery evening on my porch. The consistency is just phenomenal, followed by a great taste. It felt full in your mouth, almost as if there was a substance to chew. It gave me everything I was looking for in a tobacco. Now the heavy part, the nicotine content, yes is definitely a little bit higher. I am a nicotine heavy weight, and I definitely began to feel it after only two or three nostril exhales. This is a fantastic tobacco, I definitely recommend it, but I definitely recommend it to someone who is a little bit more experienced in the English Latakia department. Enjoy, and enjoy responsibly

Reviewing now, after having just bought my second tin. I find Black House to have pleasantly strong aroma that doesn't let on how deliciously potent it is. It's a tobacco that has to be sipped, or else I find it has a bite. It's not a smoke I'd call recreation.4.5/5

Love the flavor of this Nightcap. This is my second favorite tobacco, my first being Plumb pudding. Im a sucker for English blends. Nightcap is strong but not to strong, it has a great finish with a little kick. I always keep a tin of this on hand.

Not bad. Reminds me of the GBD tobacco

A great smoke to end the day. I have to admit the Nicotine hits me afterwards and gets me sleepy. The blend I use to end my day and I highly recommend it.

Very tasty. Does really hit the spot after a 20hr day. I especially love the fact it smells like beef jerky, however doesn't taste like it. Comparable to the plum pudding, however it's already ribboned, so no prep, and it's less expensive.

Excellent evening smoke. By far my favorite English blend. The tin arrived very well sealed, so much so that it took me a good while to get it open. The moisture level was perfect and it has a healthy nicotine kick as is expected. This will continue to be a standard in my rotation.

Slight sweet, Smokey bbq goodness. Like beef jerky. Slight pepper after taste

Very mellow and clean burning. As the name implies, it helps take the edge off of a long day. As a first time user of this, it gives me the hint of lavender and perhaps even a touch of menthol although those aren't part of the composition. Interested in hearing if others have had a similar experience.

This is the blend that hooked me on Latakia. It’s my last smoke of the day.

This blend really hits the spot 👌

Tis is an excellent evening smoke; flavorful, robust.

My favorite English blend. Only blend I smoke. Full flavor.

Very good all around. Great smell, great taste, smooth, clean burning, and also great packaging with the iconic tin art. Solid blend with no complaints. It looks, tastes and smells VERY similar to H&H Larry's Morning Blend.

Great blends and great customer service.

My favorite one si far.

The king of all pipe tobaccos in my opinion, Full flavored and complex sure, but not over the top or obnoxious. The best way to finish off a wonderful meal is with a pipe of nightcap with friends or family.

Enjoyable after sunset blend. I found it to be a pleasant end of the day blend, to help relax and wind down.

I had my first tobaccasm. This is it: Peterson's Nightcap (an exquisitely precise product name). I've had many a blend from this treasured site, but nothing compares to Nightcap. The center of my tongue reacted with no less than a umami reaction. As I first smoked, my wife said that I sounded as if I were having relations. It is that good. Every order, here on out, will include this superlative blend. Thank the Good Lord I have taste buds and olfactory sensors to appreciate this triumph.

My new favorite tobacco by far. It is a heavy smoke and best right before bed. A perfect "nightcap".

So glad Peterson started making this stuff again. Hands down the best English blend I have ever tried. Fairly strong, rich and well balanced. A wonderful, satisfying tobacco. Highly recommended.

Great blends!

Really nice smoke and smell

The taste, mouth feel, and aroma is indistinguishable from the dunhill nightcap. All I would say is that for some reason it doesn’t burn well at first so it needs a couple weeks to oxidize before use.

Balkans are my favorite. Many though leave one feeling something is missing or off balance flavor wise. This one hits everything just right. There are many tobaccos lost to days gone by, but I am glad Black House is here to fill the void.

Like everyone else I was in full panic when Dunhill announced that they were no longer distributing this and other staple blends. Peterson to the rescue. It is exactly the same in every way.

Great way to end the day.

The only thing I can add about Nightcap, on what's been written extensively, is sometimes only Nightcap will do. The heavy dose of latakia and aged Virginias makes it a satisfying smoke at the end of a long day. It may not be an everyday tobacco but there will be many evenings where only Nightcap will do the job!

As Good as it used to be

My favorite. Strong and perfect.

I have been smoking Nightcap for about forty years and I always enjoyed it. I was fearful that when Dunhill sold out to Peterson it would not be the same but I was pleasantly surprised. It still has that great taste and aroma.

great pipe tobacco

Discovered this after learning about latika, has a good flavor, strong, my go to pipe filler!

Great blends. I never had a time to taste former Dunhill labor, but this is good stuff.

This is really shaping up to be one of my absolute favorites in the 9 months I've been pipe smoking. Such great flavor. Can't go wrong with ribbon cut as it just burns so nicely all the way down.

A nice evening smoke

Delicious and smooth.

Smooth, slightly robust and a perfect finish to the day. Immensely pleasurable. Try it.

This blend is absolutely perfect for late night/evening smokes as the name suggests. I have smoked quite a bit of the original Dunhill nightcap, and I can not tell a difference from this one. 10/10!

This was my first Hearth & Home tobacco. Eventually I will try a large sampling of their many offerings. This is a good smoke, but it was just a little milder than I was hoping for.

I have really gotten attracted to Balkans. I just love that symphony of Latakia and Orientals. Currently, my go-to has been John Cotton’s Smyrna and I have played with some others such as White Horse and Larry’s Blend. So far, Smyrna is the winner. I decided to try Blackhouse. It’s good and smokeable but, I’m going with Smyrna.

This was one of my staples, under the Dunhill name, along with Early Morning Pipe, My Mixture 965, Standard Mixture, and Elizabethan. I was seldom so pleased as when Peterson picked up the torch, and began releasing these blends under their own name. Peterson Nightcap is, IMO, spot on to the original, I can't detect any difference. This is one that I usually cellar for a year or two, so I purchased four tins (also four tins of EMP, 965, Standard Mixture and Elizabethan), one for now and three for later (and I plan on ordering even more for the celler). I opened the first tin, and was greeted with a very pleasant and familiar aroma, sweet, smoky and figgy, with a complex creamy leathery undertone. Moisture content was perfect for smoking right out of the tin (as all of the Dunhills were). It packed nicely, lit easily, and stayed lit very well. It got into the 'zone' quickly, and delivered a sweet, complex and smokey incense like smooth smoke, just like I remembered. The Perique content was very apparent, adding a peppery, dried fruit flavor to overall complexity of the smoke. The nicotine was on the high side of medium, just right for the last pipe of the day. My conclusion was that that 'They're Back'! I had the same conclusion with the other blends I mentioned. I'm very grateful to Peterson for bringing back our beloved Dunhill blends, if you (like me) enjoyed the Dunhill blends, you will not be disappointed with the Peterson re-issues. They even kept the cool Dunhill tin art, it's exactly the same except for the change in the name from Dunhill to Peterson.

Full-bodied and back to basics!

Much stronger than Whiteknight. I prefer a mellow smoke to this, but this is still enjoyable. I don't tend to like perique but I can tolerate this.

Super thought this was the poop. People talk about it. I mean, its good, mixed with a bit of lat for flavor. Its for the “I smoke light cigarettes” kinda people. No offense. Was looking for bold and strong. Not my least fav.

Its so good on my list for thank you

This is the first full English I’ve tried, and all I’ve heard is how strong it is, and it’s overpowering it can be. Well I’ve been on my non aromatic journey for a little while now and wanted to the full flavor English experience. When the tin arrived in the mail i excitedly opened it up to find the tin note to be very strong. The taste however did not translate, surprisingly. I was expecting over the top campfire taste, what I tasted was bland tobbacco, possibly a little campfire but not what I was expecting. Maybe it’s me and I’m not a Latakia guy, I seem to get lots of flavors from Virginia’s, and VaPers. But not this blend sadly. I have it jarred and will come back for another bowl after some age, Which I have heard helps this blend. One thing I will say was it smoked great, extremely cool, maybe the coolest I’ve had. And no bad aftertaste.

This smells just like the good old Dunhill Nightcap out of the can. I have jarred the new stuff and expect it will be just as good as the original when I smoke it next year.

Very much enjoyed this! Worth the money!

As fine an English blend as I've ever had. It's a smokey, peppery, slightly sweet blend that I enjoyed from the first sip to the last. It has definitely earned it's spot in my rotation.

Probably my new favorite. I’m using this as a special smoke once per year on IPSD. Can’t wait to let the taste deepen as this one ages each year.

While strolling thru a new tobacco shop for pipe cleaners and humidor stuff, I spotted a tin of Peterson's Nightcap and added it to my basket. I never pulled the trigger on Dunhill's version, so I bought it. I waited a few hours before loading it in a pipe, and I found Nirvana! It is ribbon-cut, so I packed it gently and tamped delicately, and it exceeded my wildest dreams. It smoked cool, and the full-flavored tobacco was loaded with complex tastes, all the way to the dottle. It relaxed me and made me feel totally at ease. And P&C's prices mean I'll order it again! It will be a standard part of my rotation.

If you like Latakia you'll enjoy this blend

I really enjoy this tobacco when it's cold or raining out, it's a great Autumn/Winter nighttime smoke. I would say it's latakia forward, the flavor is fire smokey and savory, with a good earthiness to it. I just had a bowl about a half hour ago and it's a heavy rain, and the experience was very pleasurable. I've had this in a jar for 9-12 months now and it's better now than when i first opened it, the flavors married well and you get a good earthy spice from the DFK that compliments the smokey leather flavor of the latakia, very smooth and full. I didn't have to dry it, it packed perfectly, took the char and then the actual light with ease and burned down without any issues, I lightly relit once toward the end because I left it a lone a little too long, but other than that it's a great smoking tobacco. I can't smoke this as often as some other English blends because it's a bit heady which is why I gave it a 4 rather than a 5 star, but I do sincerely enjoy this and like to keep a fair amount on hand for when the mood for it is right and other tobaccos won't deliver what I'm looking for.

as good as dunhill

don't be fooled by a 3 star rating! this is a great english / balkan type blend. My only reason for the 3 star rate is simply because i enjoy some other blends of the same type a little bit more. it is certainly worth a try for those who enjoy english blends

Very good product

Somewhere in your publicity I read something comparing this to Balkan Sobranie. Not so. I particularly miss the bright notes of yenidge (and Cypriot latakia really isn't a very good match for Syrian).

One of my favorites, going back 30 years. If your palate is more suited to bolder flavors, espresso instead of Maxwell house, single malt scotch or Drambuie instead of flavored vodva, and IPAs instead of Coors light, this is for you. I enjoy all of these things but appreciate a stronger bolder, more natural taste. I've certainly smoked my share of aromatics, which are generally more appealing to the crowds, especially non smokers, but I gravitate towards the stronger more natural English blends for a more satisfying smoke.

This blend has a delightful bouquet. Very unique. Mild and flavorful. Rich and earthy tin notes. One of my favorites!

Tried this initially my first week smoking a pipe and hated it. Several months later I decided to give it another shot and am so glad that I did. It has become one of my favorites. Now most evenings I put on some music and enjoy Nightcap along with a glass of port for a truly wonderful, relaxing evening.

A Very well balanced Blend I would highly recommend it to anybody wanting to try a good hearty English

This is now in my regular rotation. Love the full body and flavor it packs with the added Perique. Very good.

definitely lives up to its name. u will be ready to retire after a bowl of this very good and semi sweet smelling tobacco

More savory and smoking than sweet incense flavor in this English blend. The perique adds a fantastic complexity and depth. Needed a little time in the jar to get the flavors to develop.

I'm delighted that Peterson's has kept this blend alive. It's the greatest evening blend there is- dark, strong, slow burning, full flavored and rich. Grand way to close out the evening, wholly satisfying and absolutely flavorful with the exact perfection of a strong blend.
