About This Pipe Tobacco
When Dunhill announced it would no longer be producing tobacco, pipe smokers rued the loss of some of their favorite mixtures. Thanks to Peterson, however, those beloved blends are still available. They're the same recipes and feature the same tin art as Dunhill's, just re-branded for Peterson.
Peterson here offers Nightcap — a rich blend of Virginia, Oriental, and Latakia tobaccos, intended to be smoked late in the day. It's a smoky, delightfully satisfying mixture, with a hint of Perique added to enhance the bouquet.

A Perfect Evening English

Product: Peterson Nightcap 50g
gs layers of campfire, earth, leather, wood, and a deep savory richness, while the Orientals add complexity and the Perique contributes a subtle spicy edge underneath it all.
What I love most is how complete the experience feels. Nightcap is bold without being crude, powerful without becoming exhausting, and deeply flavorful from the first light to the bottom of the bowl. It has the kind of weight and complexity that makes me want to slow down and pay attention.
This has become one of those tobaccos I naturally reach for at the end of the day. It feels perfectly suited to a quiet evening, when I want something substantial, contemplative, and deeply satisfying.
Nightcap has played an important role in helping me understand just how much I enjoy darker, fuller English mixtures....Read More

Weak, Subdued, Reserved
September 17, 2026
Product: Peterson Nightcap 50g
pect perique to either dominate the other flavors or transform them altogether – like what happens with a very good VaPer or an English with Perique such as Blackpoint – but here it weaves in with the Big Three (Latakia, Oriental, Virginia), singling out each one without contributing much of its own flavor somehow. It tastes closer to a standard English than one with Perique. For those purists who want to find out why some smokers rave about English blends with perique, Nightcap is perhaps a decent place to start.
Another criticism I have is that the flavors are *very* subdued and the strength seems overly mellow. Of course, this is characteristic of British culture, especially among the higher classes of monied or landed gentry: stiff tweeds, staid, stoic, and reserved, "stiff upper lip, old chap," and all that. Whether this alignment is intentional or not, it is a little funny.
I expect Nightcap to grow on me, as most Peterson blends I try usually do. This tin is three years old, so it's not well aged but not intolerably young either. Once it decants and starts "breathing" again, it should improve.
*One-week update: nothing is improving. In fact, it's getting worse: all the flavors and aromas are getting weaker. Very disappointing. So... I'll throw this on a bottom shelf in the cellar and forget about it for a few years. It should be a lot better then....Read More

Dangerously good

I've been enjoying this with a book before bed for the last week or so. The tin note has an excellent BBQ quality to it, reminiscent of smoked jerky. The taste is savory and delicious, and it has a nice strength.
