Capstan: Ready Rubbed Blue 1.75oz Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-581-0004
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, here offered in ready-rubbed form.

Good, but unjustifiably expensive

at make for an overall interesting smoke. That said, $20+ USD for a 1.75oz tin is absurd for anything other than a limited edition small batch blend (and even then it's a bit much). There are simply too many other Virginias and VaPers that I like as much - and in some cases better - for me to purchase Capstan Blue on a regular basis....Read More

Slight citrus, fig, and a little grass/hay and a more earthy, woody, breadiness with a nice mild to medium tangy dark fruit Virginia flavor. I like this a lot.
I see only one minus - its price!

Same great tobacco and maybe the only I’ve ever had that Ready rubbed just as good as the flake with the added benefit of easy packing and as always perfect moisture right out the tin

I smoked this fine tobacco thirty years ago before it broke my heart and disappeared. I’m quite thankful it’s back and now offered in a rubbed out version.
There’s no other Virginia quite like Capstan. This is good pure Virginia that has already been aged for you. So satisfying!
