Capstan: Flake Yellow 1.75oz Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-581-0001
A smooth, Bright Virginia flake of famous refinement and antiquarian origins, Capstan Yellow, like its medium-bodied Blue sibling, was originally created by W.D. & H.O. Wills of Bristol during the latter half of the 19th century. Suffice to say, it's no accident this smoking mixture has survived as a favorite to so many generations.

packing and lighting. The flavor is mild to medium with hints of dried fruits, and hay. The room note like any other Virginia I’ve had reminds me of Raisins and Ketchup. I can’t wait to let this cellar for a few years and try it again!...Read More

I freaking love capstan blue. This is still very good quality tobacco. Nice flavor. Doesn't really hit the mark for me personally. If blue is too much,this is for you.

A very nicely presented and pressed flake, rubs out and packs well in my pipe. I find the flavor for me on the mild side and good use more Virginia flavors. Good for morning. I will keep a tin or too on hand and age. Hopefully STG will keep it or C&D will work out a good similar blend.

cal burn. It’s a shame because the flavor is exceptional. I can smoke Capstan Blue with no issues, so sometimes it just comes down to incompatibility....Read More

This tastes fine and has no bite at all but that said it also has the least flavor of any Virginia Ive had.Bland and boring.
awesome!

scern it. Taste is mild to medium and consistent, with complex notes of sweet hay, earth, tangy orange peel, mildly spicy, tart lemon grass, floral, wood, a mildly sweet spiced bread background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is great....Read More

It is of great quality really,you should try it.I tried,smoked through the tin but failed to find its charm.Maybe you should cellar it?Then it may taste better.Also the nicotine level was pretty high for me.
