About This Pipe Tobacco
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.

Tips for the Beginner

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

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.

vities 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

I’m a big fan of black cavendish and I have probably tried at least a dozen of them over the past 50 years. This one is definitely up there, but I have to give first place to Lane BCA.

Excellent aromatic

akia 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
