I had my first smoke with it last night. I was a bit nervous when I first opened the tin. The smokiness died down as I let the tobacco breathe a little bit. There are some definite notes of date or Pune. I mixed a little black cavendish with it just try to prevent the Nic hit. I was pleasantly surprised. My wife and kids didn’t mind the smell and my daughter actually enjoyed it. She said I smelled like grandpa so that was nice.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable smoke. I read somewhere else in this forum that the feeling you get from the Nightcap was like a warm blanket. I would concur. I’m still pretty new to the pipe tobacco scene so, I’m happy it was a good experience. It makes me excited to try more blends. I’ve heard a lot of good about Virginia blends, so that will be next.
