Captain Black: Dark 1.5oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-537-0009

Made under the Lane Limited name — a tobacco manufacturer with roots dating to Dresden, Germany, in 1890 — Captain Black is among the world's most iconic lines of pipe tobacco, having made its debut in 1956 and eventually becoming America's best-selling pipe tobacco brand. For many pipe smokers, Captain Black's blends represent the archetype of Aromatic mixtures, redolent of nostalgia and conjuring memories of times when pipe-smoking was more commonplace in society.

Marked by a dark, black color palette, Captain Black's appropriately named Dark mixture delights with 100% Black Cavendish created using Herman Lane's proprietary steaming process. It's then topped with a subtle flavor for sweet notes of vanilla and an alluring room note.

This is a smooth black cavendish that is really nice on the tongue. It tastes sweet, a bit earthy and is overall an enjoyable smoke. It’s not an extraordinarily complex tobacco, but this is one that has been tested by time. I enjoy smoking it a whole lot. And it’s nice to have some cheaper and less complex tobaccos for when I’m up and doing things and less worried about the flavor....Read More
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

If you like Cavendish, this fills that on a budget.
My only complaint is I can't find a can of this dark beauty.

If you want to figure whether you like Cavendish, this is the blend to try. Sweet, smooth, cool and sweet.

First Tobacco

Product: Captain Black Dark 1.5oz
This is the first tobacco I ever smoked. Coming back to it after several years of smoking stronger blends (Kendal Dark is my everyday all day smoke) is like vaping a flavorless nicotine pen, without the nicotine. I liked it at the time years ago, but now... I don't see the point unless used in a blend, or for first time pipe smokers. Even then, it is relatively difficult to smoke for beginners, as it comes so wet in the pouch....Read More
