About This Pipe Tobacco

Like the more mellow-bodied Capstan Yellow, Capstan Blue was originally created by W.D. & H.O. Wills of Bristol well over a century ago. It's remained a favorite to countless pipe smokers across generations (J.R.R. Tolkien having been one of its most noted aficionados), a testament to the quality of this fine Virginia flake.

Too Pricey - Lost Value
September 21, 2025
By: Robert E.
Product: Capstan Flake Blue 1.75oz
This is a very good blend, but not for $25/tin - Capstan Blue has lost it's value for me... there are a number of Virginias I have found that are close enough for nearly half the price. STG is looking for the kind of margins they get with cigars with this product, and apparently are getting them! I've moved on......Read More

Used to be better... way too pricey

Product: Capstan Flake Blue 1.75oz
This blend is still decent and likely really good with age. That being said, it has lost some leaf quality over the last 5 years. The nail in the coffin is the price. Absolutely ridiculous. You can find similar virginias that are as good or actually a lot better for almost half the price. Really sad....Read More

It’s ok

Product: Capstan Flake Blue 1.75oz
If you plan to buy this because you think it’s what JRR Tolkien smoked then don’t. It is a completely different blend and STG is just capitalizing on your nostalgia to overcharge for this otherwise average blend.

Excellent Virginia smoke!
February 11, 2026
By: Cory P.
Product: Capstan Flake Blue 1.75oz
I first want to say to stop reviewing a blend on its price! Rate it based on its merit, not its price. If you think its a 4-5 star blend but give it a 2 cause of its price, its misleading. State that its a 5 star blend, but you think its over priced. With that said, I love this blend personally. This is how a straight Virginia is supposed to taste. It's so good I sometimes have to force myself to slow down and sip it. It's an exceptional sweet, bready blend with a nice lemony note to it. It also has a slight hay note to it as well. And I do also agree though that it is over priced and they are placing a big price tag on it based on ppls nostalgia for the blend. But im still gonna pay it and still gonna smoke it....Read More

Would be a 5 if...
March 21, 2026
By: Andrew
Product: Capstan Flake Blue 1.75oz
The value proposition was better. This Virginia is incredibly sweet and very rewarding to smoke. I do have to take points off because it offsets its quality with price. You can find cheaper tobaccos that are competitive, flavor wise. If you can catch it on a rare sale where its priced competitively then pick up a few tins....Read More
