Tips for the Beginner

October 30, 2020

Product: Captain Black Dark 1.5oz

As a man who has smoked a pipe for 40 years, I have picked up a couple things that may be helpful to the beginner piper. First, pipe smoking is a personal thing that each person enjoys for different reasons and in different ways. You will read and watch all these well meaning reviewers tell you how to do this and how to do that, don't smoke this or do smoke that. You smoke what tastes good to you and smoke it whatever way you like. Our grandfathers smoked one pipe. They didn't rotate pipes or tobaccos. They smoked one or two brands because that was all that was available. Was their smoking experience less because they didn't do things "the right way." No, they enjoyed their pipe for a lifetime. Enjoy your pipe or pipes with whatever tobacco or tobaccos that you enjoy and in whatever way you like. Second, one of the best tips I ever got was to drink tonic water or a citrus drink while smoking. It cleans the mouth so you can enjoy every sip of the pipe. Third, you can't go wrong with smoking Captain Black blends. They have been around for a long time and taste just fine. They might not meet the criteria of some smokers, but once again if you smoke it and you like it, don't be afraid to buy it. I started out smoking Captain Black Gold many years ago and still smoke it along with other brands. You will find that Captain Black Dark is a nice smooth Black Cavendish that packs well, tastes good and will satisfy your smoking needs....Read More

The Captain's Best

July 04, 2025

Product: Captain Black Dark 1.5oz

I only write reviews on what I consider 5 Star blends, and Captain Black Dark is the cat's ass. I really like black Cavendish. CB Dark actually beats BCA, in my book. It's become my day-to-day go-to blend, and it knocked 1-Q down a notch in the process.
Smoke it in your pipes with deep cavities and thick bowl walls because it tends to get a little hot, otherwise. Great room note, and easy on the tongue. Highly recommended....Read More

Classic Cavendish

Product: Captain Black Dark 1.5oz

As flavors goes the black cavendish a full front and center. Rich and creamy. Definitely needs to dry prior to smoke. The pouch makes it easy to sample this blend and other Captain Black blends.

Excellent aromatic

Product: Captain Black Dark 1.5oz

I am a fan of English and Va blends, but this one caught me by surprise! It was on sale and I added this to my order. On opening the packet, the dark leaves were moist and smelled sweet and gentle, not the usual pungent odors that I'm used to in Latakia blends. In the bowl, it is a fragrant smoke; this blend produces billows of soft, cool, sweet, delicious marshmallow-like smoke that tastes great and doesn't bite. The vanilla topping is just right; it's not too much and does not detract from the experience. Once, I mixed some Per Hansen's Burley in it to add some body. Excellent results! It lasted a long time, and I enjoyed it immensely. Will buy this again when I run out....Read More

BCA Competitor

September 28, 2025

Product: Captain Black Dark 1.5oz

Very light vanilla notes, not artificial. Can warm the tongue if pushed but does not bite. Perfect blend for black cavendish lovers. Similar to Lane BCA but not exactly the same, more of a competitor. Can be used to mix with other blends as well.
