It almost tastes like whipped-cream, which goes quite well with the Van Gogh Espresso. Captain Black has got to be one of the best mass-market distributed pipe tobaccos out there. I recently smoked 3 of the 5 versions and enjoyed them all immensely. I smoked Captain Black Regular (white package), Captain Black Gold (gold package) and Captain Black Royal (dark blue package). The other two versions that I didn’t smoke are Captain Black Light (light blue package) and Captain Black Cherry (red package).

Captain Black Regular Pipe Tobacco produces a nostalgic and classic pouch aroma and room note that will take you back to simpler times. If there are any tobacco snobs reading this, and you’re already rolling your eyes, just wait until I tell you what I smoked this in. Captain Black Gold smells like cigarettes which you tried to cover up with dollar store vanilla body spray. SMOKE & ROOM NOTEThe heavy cavendish component gives all of these tobaccos a silky mouthfeel, but the smoke is strangely thin. Captain Black Gold is much more natural in aroma, hay, a hint of vanilla, and bit of an ammonia off-note. In March of 2011, Lane Ltd. was purchased by Scandinavian Tobacco Group, headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. On June 1, 2012, Lane was officially renamed Scandinavian Tobacco Group Lane Ltd. Captain Black comes from Lane Limited, an operating subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc, hence the mass-market distribution. Captain Black has also been around for several decades, so it is certainly well-established. If you’re looking for a sweeter smoke, Captain Black Gold Pipe Tobacco offers a sweet golden Virginia taste produced by matured golden cavendish tobaccos. The tangy citrus and grassy hints of the gold cavendish accompany a mildly sweet, consistent, and one-dimensional flavor. While it’s not a complex blend that will challenge your pallet, it is a smooth smoke with an enjoyable aroma. Captain Black Gold is an excellent option for a nice, plain old smoke. Its simplicity and room note make this a classic standby for everyday smoke. It is the number one brand of pipe tobacco and is sold around the world, from Australia to Kazakhstan. A nuanced combination of Virginia and Burley tobaccos that delivers a uniquely decadent smoking experience.

Lane was originally founded in Dresden, Germany in 1890. Then, as today, the company specialized in the highest quality pipe and roll-your-own cigarette tobaccos. Herman G. Lane, one of the founder’s grandsons, immigrated to the United States in 1938 and re-established the company in Manhattan. Lane Ltd. pipe tobaccos were manufactured at 25 Beekman St. in New York City until 1983. Captain Black Cherry is, woof, that’s an intense blast to the nasal cavities. It’s not cough syrup but more cough drop or maybe cherry hard candy. By submitting this form you certify that the recipients of this email are 21 years of age or older. Unlike some other aromatic tobaccos, this Captain Black Regular Pipe Tobacco stays lit for a long time, so you don’t have to worry about constant relights. It has a sweet vanilla flavor that isn’t overpowering and resembles a roasted marshmallow. Its undertones of vanilla, chocolate, and nuts make this a perfect slow smoke that you can exhale out your nose for enhanced flavor. Experience its pleasant room note and consistent burley flavor with a seven-ounce tin, one-and-a-half-ounce tin, or a pack of five one-and-a-half-ounce tins. It’s really hard to find anything bad to say about Captain Black Regular. Many "drug store" tobaccos and aromatic tobaccos get panned by reviewers as being too sweet, artificial tasting, tongue-biting, hot burning, tasteless disasters. I first tried the original version, Captain Black Regular. The pipe smoking community and many online stores refer to it as "Captain Black White" because of the white packaging. However, it is officially "regular" if you read the manufacturer’s website. Many pipe smoker aficionados rate Gold and Original as mild-strength pipe tobacco compared to other brands. In the last week I have smoked three different versions of Captain Black in Corn Cob Pipes and in a Savinelli Venezia and an Aldo Velani Volcano.
