Capstan: Ready Rubbed Yellow 1.75oz Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-581-0003
A smooth, Bright Virginia flake of famous refinement and antiquarian origins, here in ready-rubbed form, 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.

This has to be on the list of tobaccos that has to be saved!!!! I've had many that are similar, but this stuff is one of a kind. I really didn't want to be one of those smokers that can't move on and accept the changes, but THIS ONE IS A KEEPER!!!

thy notes but definitely not as much as the citrusy notes. Smoking this blend reminds me of Ice lemon tea. No strong vinegar or ketchup notes detected.
Tongue bite : right out from the tin, yes.
After letting it sit in the jar, minimum tongue bite.
Mechanics : really straight forward. Just pack and puff. Stays lit relatively well even in Singapore humid weather, requires a few relights. No drying time needed.
Strength : medium to strong. Had a lot of time at work the whole day. Smoked four bowls of it and felt some nicotine sickness in the fourth bowl. Hence, repeatable but not an all day smoke.
Will I buy this again : if I happen to be travelling and spot this I would grab 2 tins of it. Chances of me getting this online and shipping it to me is minimal as right now it retails to 19.63 in smokingpipes....Read More

cern it individually. Taste is medium and consistent, with complex notes of sweet hay, dry earth, tangy orange peel, stewed fruit, spicy, tart lemon grass, floral, very woody, a mildly sweet spiced bread background note, and a moderately peppery retro. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Tried this for the first time and was pleased. Had a hard time keeping lit, but it can also be from my packing technique still developing. The flavor was pretty good, had a nice scent to it too.
Very Good

I just got a good sample of this 5 year aged Virginia last week and it’s dang good stuff!!! Capstan Gold is basically a very good Virginia but the 5 years in the tin just sweetens the deal. Grab it while you can!!!

The Capstan yellow flake tastes much better. The ready rubbed version heats up quickly, you have to smoke very slowly. tongue bite. Better smoke the Flake
