Nightcap

Peterson Nightcap 50g Pipe Tobacco is a rich and full-bodied English-style mixture combining Virginia, smoky Latakia, fragrant Oriental tobaccos and a distinctive touch of Perique. Presented in a traditional 50g tin, Nightcap is one of the best-known Latakia mixtures in the Peterson range and continues the celebrated blend formerly produced under the Dunhill name.

At the heart of Peterson Nightcap is a carefully balanced combination of Virginia, Latakia, Oriental/Turkish and Perique tobaccos. Virginia provides natural sweetness and brighter tobacco notes, while Latakia contributes the deep, smoky and woody character for which the blend is particularly renowned. Small-leaf Oriental tobaccos introduce additional fragrance and spice, with Perique adding further depth and a characteristic peppery, subtly fruity dimension.

Nightcap contains no detected added flavouring, allowing the character of its individual tobaccos to define the mixture. Its generous proportion of Latakia and addition of Perique result in a considerably fuller and more robust profile than many lighter English mixtures.

A Classic Full-Bodied Latakia & Perique Mixture

Peterson Nightcap Pipe Tobacco is distinguished by the interplay between its smoky Latakia, naturally sweet Virginia, fragrant Oriental leaf and spicy Perique. Rather than relying on an aromatic casing, Nightcap develops its complexity entirely from the selection and combination of these contrasting tobacco varieties.

Latakia provides the dark, smoky foundation of the mixture, complemented by the natural sweetness of Virginia and the woody, fragrant qualities of Oriental tobacco. A measured addition of Perique tobacco introduces another layer of complexity, contributing the subtle fruit and pepper characteristics traditionally associated with this distinctive leaf.

Originally sold as Dunhill Nightcap, the famous mixture returned under the Peterson name following the transition of the former Dunhill pipe tobacco range. The established recipe was retained, allowing the Nightcap name and its distinctive English-mixture character to continue under Peterson.

Presented in a 50g pipe tobacco tin, Peterson Nightcap remains a distinctive example of a strong English pipe tobacco. Its combination of Latakia, Virginia, Oriental and Perique tobacco gives Peterson Nightcap 50g a rich, smoky and complex identity within the Peterson pipe tobacco collection.
