Without any doubt this is one of the best flakes on the market. Won't bite and a lovely leaf first thing in the morning. At least that's been my experience.
I'm one of the classic grumpy old buggers and can tell you this is to be highly recommend... Read More
ed as excellent pipe tobacco.
And for all the snowflakes who think this is expensive, in Australia, we are paying over $AUS70 for the same thing. That's $US54.

This is really high quality leaf done right. It's a little brighter than the blue in flavor and doesn't really have the malty note. It does have a mild natural lemongrass note and a delicious natural virginia sweetness. Very pure and clean tasting to... Read More
the last draw at the end of the bowl. It's a little lighter than the blue but its still a very rich smoke indeed. Read Less

和你一样，因为对蓝绞盘的喜爱而尝试黄绞盘。正如产品的描述，强度稍弱，口味偏淡，烟气不及蓝绞盘浓郁。此消彼长，没有浓郁烟气的包裹，过鼻少许胡椒辛辣感就会探出头来，这对我来说算是小小的不足。

This is blue’s flue cured brother. If you have been a cigarette smoker you’ll appreciate this one. Tastes a lot like Dunhill Red cigarettes. This is not bad. In fact it’s rather nice. Pure mellow Virginia, flue curing that brings out the sugars in th... Read More

首先说 先抽的蓝绞盘，确实很好。然后才关注到这个黄绞盘，从颜色上就可以看出比蓝绞盘淡了不少。开罐就是好闻的水果味道，草属于比较湿的，也可能因为上海的天比较潮湿，醒了很久。用了三把不一样尺寸的斗来品吸，味道都是能出来，不挑斗型的好草。
味道的话 上来甜度就很棒，然后花香啊果香很明显，过鼻非常温和，中段主线味道以依旧甜甜奶味花香，酸味不是很明显，最主要整个过程非常惬意，不需要非常刻意的注意抽吸。你说他没个性，但我恰恰觉得这是一款常备斗草的要素，不会腻。
唯一的问题是强度比较弱，这是我唯一几款会抽到尾... Read More
段的草，大多数草我到尾端都不抽了。可能有些需求量大的人觉得不太饱满。
推荐用烟气比较集中的斗，烟草也可以湿一点，更能好好感受味道。不太会咬舌，初学者也可以放心抽。 Read Less

Product: Capstan Flake Yellow 1.75oz
I'm a huge fan of Capstan Original Navy Cut Flake (the Blue tin), but I alternate between that and Capstan's Gold Navy Cut Flake (the Yellow tin). Actually, what happens is that I end up opening a can of Gold when I open a tin of Blue and find it's n... Read More
ot matured enough to my liking and have to jar it and wait. Capstan Gold is much more ready-reliable; rarely wavering in aroma, flavor, perfect dryness, and availability. As I said in my review of Capstan Blue, it can be inconsistent, but Gold is very consistent. At least that's been my experience, yours may be different. The flakes are thin, easily rubbed-out or folded for loading. The moisture levels are always near perfect for lighting. As with any flake, it can be a tad harder than a ribbon cut to get lit, but once lit you are in for a good long smoke. I fold and twist/stuff my Capstan flakes and average 45 minutes per flake in a medium sized bowl (usually a Billiard). The flavors are fantastic: bright Virginias (hay, grass, tea) but are a solid medium strength smoke (with Capstan Blue being a bit fuller strength). For those of you familiar to Orlik Golden Sliced, the flakes are so similar it's uncanny, but OGS is a VA/Perique and Capstan Gold claims to be a pure Virginia flake. Overall, both Capstan Blue and Gold are top-notch tobaccos everyone should try. It bares repeating that the Flakes and Ready-Rubbed versions differ greatly (not sure why) and I am reviewing the Flake version specifically. Enjoy. Read Less

A neat little light Virginia blend. It won't bite and it'll deliver the flavor. Though it isn't a powerhouse of flavor. It's still worth the occasional tin.

This is a very respectful flake: respectful to the smoker. It's cut beautifully, and one flake fits perfectly into a standard bowl. Rubbed out seems to offer the most flavour. High, grassy bouquet; cool, mellow smoke. I liked it quite a bit; however ... Read More
I found it a bit "one note". I think my preference for a Virginia flake will stay with MacBaren's Virginia Flake; even though it has a tendency to bite, it resonates with me a lot more. That's just personal preference though, and Capstan Yellow is a fantastic piece of work. Read Less

Cool burning, very delicious in taste. Calm and mild tobacco. Probably, one of the best pipe virginia flake tobacco!
Product: Capstan Flake Yellow 1.75oz
I used to find virginias revolting, but after calming down my smoking cadence I found this to be an absolutely beautiful, classic smoke. The first VA blend I've truly come to enjoy, it's very subtle and zesty, and makes a great all day blend. Don't e... Read More

比蓝绞盘淡很多就只有一股淡的V草香，甜度不高就纯烟草味香反而常抽不容易腻，其实个人感觉蓝绞盘太甜了出味比较明显适合新手而已

Tin note of stewed ripe figs, tart plums, and sugary Rasins. The yellowish-brown tobacco flakes easily rub out. Tobacco is moist, but no drying needed. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild to medium. Though l... Read More
isted with Fruit / Citrus flavoring, I couldn't discern 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 Less

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.

A lot like Orlik’s but a little brighter and, I might venture, slightly more complex. Smokes nice and smooth. Quite moist out of the tin.

For me its good, but not too much. It has a likely bakery smell, and yes, its smooth, but a litlle bit smoky. Has good flavour, sweet, but the smoky sensation is always there...dont say nothing to me, i prefer others, even this is good.

Mild but with depth of flavor. An all day smoke.

Waste of money nothing but blandness here folks. One reviewer compared it to Orlik, totally on the other side of the spectrum from Orlik or the like

SHould be 5 stars but my cursor slipped while rating (LOL)!
After smoking the blue version flake I moved on to the yellow. Most everything said about the blue can be said about the yellow with regard to presentation, handling, smoking characteristics... Read More
, etc. It is a bit lighter in the tin than the blue and its tin aroma is more on the bright side, but not extremely so. Some have said it reminds them of Orlik's Golden Sliced, but I would disagree on that one. For starters, this Capstan flake was darker in color and it lacked that characteristic tin note of GS; nor was there any present in the taste thankfully, as I quickly grew tired of that in the GS. Overall, the yellow-tinned flake was less spicy and not quite as full-tasting as the blue, however, it is still one superior smoke. Like the blue, I can smoke this one every day if need be. However, between the two, I find myself reaching for the blue more often as I enjoy that spiciness I described in the blue and the slightly fuller body to the smoke. As with the blue, a stellar, 5 star smoke. Hat's off to Mac Baren as both will be in my weekly rotation for sure and in my favorites category as well. Read Less

If you enjoy orlik golden sliced then this is for you. While def different I find them to have similar characteristics. I definitely rec drying this flake out a bit as it comes fairly moist. Bright fruity flavors and delicious. Pretty decent nic hit.... Read More
My only complaint is the price for a 50g tin. Read Less
