Quiet Nights - Almost There!

10th March, 2010: Posted by glpease in New Blends

Finally, I’m done. I’ve been tasting a great many prototypes of this blend, the next to be released in the Old London Series, and have finally, finally, made the final selection. The differences were slight, but when it comes to balance, it’s the little things that count. Interestingly, the first version has come out on top as The One.

Now, I’m working on the label. I know what I’m after in terms of “feel,” and it’s starting to come through. What this all means is that within the next few weeks, I’ll be announcing the imminent release of the blend. Whoo hoo! At least for me.

But, remember. Until you read it here, it’s not there, if you know what I mean. It’s coming soon. Promise.

    I can’t wait to try this one! If it’s anywhere in the same league as Chelsea Morning you’ll have a hands down winner.

    Is the name an allusion to the song “Corcovado”?

    With all due respect, I hope Quiet Nights is a working name for this new blend. It just seems uninspired compared to the names of most of your blends. It isn’t a bad name; I just think there must be a better one out there. How about a naming contest?

    I agree with Rick regarding the name. I thought the name Nocturne was better, for instance. I’ll buy it and smoke it either way, but I do think that a name change is something to consider. Hope to see you in Chicago in 6 weeks.

    Personally, I’m not committed to the name until the button is pushed and the labels are printed. I don’t see the problem with Quiet Nights. I happened to like Nocturne a lot, and that was actually the working name for the blend early on. Enough people have been publicly and privately critical of Quiet Nights that I’m willing to revisit it, but there’s no time to construct a real contest, but I’ll remain open to suggestions through the end of this week, at which point I’ll make a decision.

    If someone recommends a name that I decide to use, I’ll send them a free tin when it’s released. So, it’s a non-contest contest. How’s that?

    […] For those who have seen the comments in the previous post, this won’t be a surprise. What might be is that I’ve also received a flurry of email over the past few months in which people have told me they weren’t excited about the name, Quiet Nights for the new blend in the Old London Series. Fine. Few have indicated why they don’t like it, but why is often hard to know in such things. Why? doesn’t really matter. […]

    How does “Night Owl” sound to you?
