Complex mouthfeel with toffee, chewy caramel, slight vanilla and light molasses on the palate. Not as spicy as the standard Balvenie 12 year old but it does develop a slight spiciness on the finish. Brown sugar, fruit and more spice to follow.

Let me tell you about my current favorite cigar. Its the Bolivar Belicosos Finos - Cabinet. This is a beautiful cigar, that is about 5.5 inches with a 52 ring gauge. The wrapper has a wonderful oily sheen, that highlight the slight toothy-ness of the cigar. To me, this represents the classic cigar. A torpedo shaped delight that emits clouds of wonderful smelling smoke. It reminds me very much of the classic cigar smoking hero in the movies. The cigars construction is perfect, with a cap that clips nicely. The pre-draw is excellent. Firm yet you dont have to force the air through the cigar. I light the cigar, and lean back and relax. The flavors are wonderful. As the cigar burns the oils glisten on the wrapper before they are consumed in the next puff. A friend recently described smoking this cigar as an almost religious experience, and I would have to agree. You wont want this to finish, and you will find yourself smoking it until your fingers cant hold the nub anymore. When it does end, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have enjoyed one of the true pleasures of this

Borkum Riff Ruby is a Cavendish style blend, made from fermented Burley and Kentucky tobacco. As is the trademark style, the cherry casing is noticeable, but doesn’t totally dominate the taste of the tobacco. There is a pleasant, toasty and sweet taste from the tobacco, which harmonises nicely with the casing. Speaking of which; the cherry taste is pleasantly fresh and they’ve also snuck a hint of vanilla in there, but cherry is very much the focal point of the blend.

6 x 60 nowadays looks like is only possible on your day off but this cigar wont let you down since use a great original Connecticut wrapper cultivated in Connecticut USA. Nowadays most of this wrapper are cultivated in Nicaragua and Honduras.

Balblair relaunched it’s core range in early 2019 and the 15 year old is initially matured in ex-bourbon casks before being moved to first fill Spanish oak butts. From this you will receive deeper fruit notes than the 12 year old which is also joined by lovely chocolate notes, beautifully tropical and full bodied.
On the nose you may be able to pick up the smell of leatherwood honey, spicy gingerbread, lots of juicy citrus freshness and a hint of coffee and walnut cake.
On the palate is a smooth, velvety texture bursting with dark chocolate, tropical fruits, spices and ginger.
A long and mellow finish of curaçao orange, creamy vanilla, caramelised dates, dried oak and of course citrus.

As a new pipe smoker Ive been searching for my go to tobacco. More recently Ive been working through the Peterson Dunhill blends and have been pleased with my smokes so far but now Ive come to Nightcap and boy ho boy what a smoke. I find it extremely easy to get along with, its smooth, tasty and very satisfying. No harshness or bite, its just lovely and my number 1 so far.
