I have never made a habit of smoking any of the high-priced brands or blends. Never made sense to me, because the so-called 'drug store' brands always worked just fine. I don't think I've missed anything, really. Those around me prefer this smoke for the aroma I bring to the room. An almost perfect all-day tobacco. It can easily become my daily regular tobacco. The good standby tobacco anytime and rich in taste. I had the cherry before this one, so I'm pleased the flavor wasn't used to hide anything. I understand why Captain Black tobaccos have been around for decades. Exceptionally mild and delightfully aromatic. Gold - Matured Golden Cavendish tobaccos are used and reflected in the bright gold color. Exceptionally mild, more flavorful and delightfully aromatic. A balanced body with a mellow taste. Originally founded in Dresden, Germany in 1890, Lane specialized in high quality pipe and roll-your-own cigarette tobaccos. Herman G. Lane, one of the founder's grandsons, emigrated to the United States in 1938 and re-established the company in Manhattan. Is Captain Black the greatest pipe tobacco in the world? Is it a master blend of flavor and quality? Is it a tobacco you can buy in the same store you buy couch syrup, band aids and deodorant? You aren't telling us anything new. This blend turned me off to pipes for about 10 years. I would suggest another OTC blend that actually has some tobacco taste, is sweet, is softly aromatic, burns well, and is relatively available to a first-timer.

Working standard solutions of nicotine (different concentrations of 10, 15, 20, 23 and 30 µg/ml) were prepared by dilution of the stock solution with distilled water. "Captain Black White" is the Big Mac of the pipe tobacco world, but just because it's a best-seller it doesn't mean that it's a gem. There's nothing subtle, nuanced, enjoyable or anything interesting going on in this tobacco. We may as well smoke cardboard or inject nicotine into our jugular veins. I Have seem this for years but I'm not a big fan of aromatics. Has a very mild nicotine, more strength in the second half of bowl. Not overly moist, was able to easily light. It's a ribbon blend with some chunky cav in it. Smells strongly of vanilla and honey. A lot like marshmallows so far as room note. It packs and lights very easily and tastes similar to it's smell for the first half. It completely turned me off of pipe smoking because of the tongue bite. This tobacco takes a light well and requires an average number of relights. The first half of the pipe smokes fairly well with a sweet an comfortable feeling. I'll also second what pipestud says, the ladies love the smell. Nothing wrong with either version, but there is also nothing to make it stand out in an ocean of vanilla flavored blends available today. This isn't my first rodeo with aros, so I took it slow and easy.
