Peterson: Nightcap 50g Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-050-0070

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.

Strong lat.

This is a smoky blend heavy with Latakia. Nic hits a little strong for someone new to pipe tobacco but nothing too crazy. I think of this as more of a winter blend but that’s just me.
Classic Legendary British Blend.

This is a true "English" blend developed by the most "English" of pipe and tobacco companies, Dunhill. The components are blended extremely well, and the tobacco is cured and processed beautifully. No sharpness, or bitterness from this blend. A rich, full smoke yet soft on the palate. There is nothing else like it. The perique is blended deeply such that it's presence is barely noticed but has a unique effect on the blend. The proper way to use perique. This is a pipe blend that I can smoke several time per week....Read More
Nighttime Smoke

Heavy, pre-betime smoke!
The only English I can still smoke
May 04, 2025
Product: Peterson Nightcap 50g
After going on an English splurge when I first started, I can no longer smoke them without the impending horror of knowing what is to come: the feeling of my tongue being hit with a creosote-covered rasp. Somehow, despite how strongly smoky Nightcap is, it does not have this effect. It's a miracle. Maybe it's the perique? It's incredibly smooth. I don't often reach for an English (a pure English, not one of my heavily diluted homeblends), but when I do, it's this one....Read More
Nightcap

Product: Peterson Nightcap 50g
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.

GREAT SMOKE!

This blew my socks off. It started off very sweet and a bit smokey. The Middle of the bowl got very latakia heavy, which I liked, and then mellowed out to almost a scotch taste. Bought a tin of this after trying it and plan to buy another to keep one on hand. GREAT SMOKE! Not for all occasions...Read More
Another famous Peterson-Dunhill blend that I really do not like
April 18, 2025
Product: Peterson Nightcap 50g
I know, I know - I'm in the minority here, but I've got to call 'em like I smoke 'em. I have tried a couple tins of this over more than a year and I have never enjoyed it. I don't get any of the nuanced flavors other reviews mention. It just doesn't taste like much and I even find it a bit harsh. I enjoy plenty of tobaccos with the constituent components, but for some reason they just don't work for me here. For comparison, I also do not like Early Morning Pipe - and for pretty much the same reasons as Nightcap. I have other tins of Peterson blends (Standard mixture, Balkan blend and Scottish mixture) and now I'm wondering if I should open them to try, or just unload them somewhere. For comparison, a couple of my favorite blends are PS52 Proper English and Lancer Slices (or ready-rubbed). Not sure if this even makes any sense, but it's almost beginning to seem that for some reason I enjoy bulk blends over tins....Read More
AVOID! A cautionary tale to the newbie

Do not make this your first full flavored English style tobacco blend. Just don't do it. Start with a highly regarded bulk tobacco. Smoke up a few of those first. If you try one that you find amazing, if it holds your interest and satisfies you perhaps just stop your search right there. Look no further! I'm only half kidding... If you start with this one, you just may find yourself chasing a ghost. You may eventually find that Nightcap is flawless. Flawless in the way it burns, flawless in it's wonderful fine cut, flawless in it's admittedly straightforward but flawless flavor. The flavor is rich, full, velvety, smooth, warm, woodsy, and smoky. Just enough of a perique spicy tickle on the retro. Everything harmoniously working together in alchemical ambrosia. You may spend a lot of time and money only to realize you had already found one of, if not THE, greatest English blends ever crafted. This is MY story. Nightcap is my unicorn. It's not a cheap date. If you're on a journey to find a staple English to fill your bowl for many years, try the more affordable stuff first. If you've already been exploring and/or just want one of the greatest smokes ever, buy the ticket and take the ride....Read More
Ugh

Product: Peterson Nightcap 50g
Ugh, I hate saying it... It's easily in my top 5 favorite tobacco of all time. If I only had this to smoke for the rest of my life, I would die a happy man. Bit, don't buy any of it because YOU will probably hate it. I'll bear the burden of trying to buy and smoke it all so you guys dont have to. No need to thank me. Just move right along. I heard 10 Russians is a close match! Cheers!!!...Read More

I bought this and Early Morning Pipe to try out. EMP was great but when I tried Nightcap I was blown away. This is the best tobacco I have tried since pickup up my pipe again. I plan on keeping stocked up on this.

It smokes so good. Good thick smoke, great flavor and yes, low maintenance whi
le you are smoking it. Just a complete pleasure to smoke....Read More
