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.

Top Virginia Flake-- Citrus and hay morphs into plum and leather
September 29, 2026

Product: Capstan Flake Blue 1.75oz
Delicious flakes, beautifully packaged and delectable tin note. Grass and citrus to plum towards the end of the bowl.

All these poor reviews based on price. This stuff is 113$ a can in Canada. It’s good stuff, and due to supply and demand the prices have gone up. Get used to it. Everything shipped will soon cost more due to American politics and wars....Read More

Capstan represents wonderfully dark side of Virginias. Moist dark good size flake. smell is sweet stone fruit in the tin. Taste is superb: less grass and citrus and more bread with wonderful raisins and stewed fruit. Number 1 in the rotation for me.

I mean, I like it?

Everywhere you look you see reviews stating, “This isn’t the same tobacco JRR Tolkien smoked.” However, the way I see it is that this is the closest you can get. It’s like seeing The Who but there is only two of them left. Of course it isn’t The Who my uncle saw in 1979 though he reminds me every time it comes up. However, it’s what you have access to. Lore aside this is a good tobacco and isn’t too strong for beginners. It is a fun one to have in your cellar, and though it is more expensive than other tobacco’s it can be a nice one to pull out on hobbit day or when you’re inevitably going down the middle earth hobbit hole for the third time this year....Read More

This deserves a better rating than it has, by far the best Virginia, this is my favorite smoke by far. Sip it and go slow, appreciate it's subtle flavor and perfect sweetness. Pick up a tin if you haven't tried it, it's worth it.

Just buy it.

The tin note was of V8 tomato juice. It's expensive yes. But it's amazing. I never had the old stuff that people say was better. But this is now my favorite Virginia flake. And I've had a lot of good ones. True desert island blend. I'd smoke it all day if it was cheaper, so I save it for special occasions. Will definitely buy more, I love it. Capstan Blue is THE Best....Read More
