Mild, lady pleasing aroma!
June 16, 2018
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Aroma and taste are of vanilla yogurt. Too mild on its own but mix a pouch 50/50 with a pouch of CB Dark and you have a 1Q to die for!! CB Royal is my second favorite.
Disappointed

Burns hot and has very little flavor. I wouldn't recommend it.
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
This blend took some time to grow on me on its own . I make a wonderful " blend " using gold . Its the lightest of the CB line I think . Its ribbon cut is lovely . If youre familiar with smoking ribbon cuts , it smokes beautifully

Tongue bites
June 03, 2020
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
First tobacco blend I was introduced as a beginner was this. CB Gold. An OTC over the counter blend this one in particular has a vanilla flavor. When you open the pack you will see a tightly packed, almost shag cut like ribbons of virginia. This is s... Read More
o wet that you have to dry it out, or smoke it in corn cob(I always smoke aromatics on trusty Missouri Meerschaum). Smoke it wet, and I guarantee you will have a chemical tongue bite which will lea e white spots on top of your tongue. I didn't buy after first pack. Moved onto vanilla Flakes. Read Less
Mild, pleasant smoke
February 21, 2020
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
I'm a new pipe smoker, so my experience is limited. However, I found this tobacco to be quite pleasant and one of my favorites so far. It was a very pleasant, light smoke. I do not regret giving it a try at all.
Old Standby tobacco

Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Have been a pipe smoker off and on for the last 40 years. This has been my everyday tobacco for all this time. A light smoke with little bite. Due to it's lighter taste, I like to enjoy it with a snifter of brandy or a single "piernicki" (... Read More

Best of the Captain’s cellar
March 31, 2023
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
I quite liked the flavor of Captain Black’s Gold. It was a great Cavendish! This is my favorite of the Captain’s offerings. I found it just right. The strength was fine; nothing to be ashamed of. And the flavor is mild, but not too mild. If you let y... Read More
our tongue look for it, you will find this to be a classic Cavendish variety with no second guesses about who it is and what it’s meant to be. Read Less

The tobacco that got me back into pipes
March 08, 2021
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
After a long hiatus from smoking pipes due to a very awful experience with a terrible english blend, friend had bought me a pouch of this for my birthday, and now i'm back into full swing as if nothing had happened.
It is light, it is sweet, and it i... Read More
s super tasty. This cut burns well, is very forgiving, i got no tongue bite either.
Most pipe smokers like to poo poo on Captain Black, but that's fine, just leaves more for me to enjoy.
It's not the best aromatic, but it is still a nice smooth mellow vanilla light aromatic. Read Less
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Even after drying for 12 hours it burns like the fires of hell and bites the tongue like a rabid dog. It has a non existent taste. Avoid this product completely
A must for the start of the day

Product: Captain Black Gold 12oz
Smooth, yet tasty, I need it in my rotation. Specially at the beginning of the day on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a shame it's not imported in Switzerland anymore. Great value for the price. Fortunately Smoking Pipe is there to deliver: fast and ver... Read More

It's popular, and not for nothing

Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
For my concern, it's the best cheap tobacco you can purchase, and the more easily findable here in Québec.
Taste like vanilla and caramel, something sugary at all. Provide a cool smoke and rares tongue bites. A every day smoke for those who like mo... Read More

Great budget Aromatic
October 18, 2012
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Obviously Captain Royal is not considered a boutiqe blend by any means, but its popularity for the price makes perfect sense. For the money, you get a very pleasant smoke, a great aroma, and a great carry around pouch to throw in your jacket pocket. ... Read More
The Gold blend is my favourite of their aromatic blends, but the Royal blend has a little more flavour for smokers looking to step into some more powerful blends. I've paid the same amount of money for other brands, and ended up throwing them into my garden as fertilizer. Read Less
Budget starter tobacco

Just like Royal, this an excellent starting point in any new pipe smokers journey to finding the blends they like to smoke.
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Package note of vanilla, tart fruit and hay. Tobacco cut is ribbon cut, and mostly brown, a little dark brown, and a small amount of tan. Tobacco is quite moist. needs drying a bit. Burns somewhat fast with few relights. The strength is mild and nic ... Read More
is zero. Flavoring is mild, with notes of vanilla. Taste is mild and consistent, with notes of lemon, sweet grass, and bread. Virginias are leading, supported by flavoring. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is ok. Read Less

Where I grew up it was this or black n mild. Now that Im much older it has my respect but not my style.
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Took chance on this one but maybe I shouldn't have. The tin note was ok but after lighting, it was down hill. Not much flavor
at all. I did experience some tongue bite but not to level others have. I couldn't even finish the bowl. Even though I like... Read More
d CB original and the dark, this one was a total failure. So I guess it will be left in the jar for a couple of years, mixed with something else or simply tossed out, which I'am leaning very heavily towards. Read Less

Not the worst smoke
October 11, 2020
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Starts off very sweet and mellow but as stated in other reviews, it gives way to a hot pipe and a bit of a bite that makes its way to your throat causing the need to absolutely have a drink handy
Bland Hot-Burning Cavendish
April 29, 2018
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
The flavour is very mild vanilla with sugar and little natural tobacco. Almost like a Marlboro Light cigarette with a topping. Even with some dry time, I was blasted with the worst tongue bite of my life. 1/2 Star as it isn't really even fit for s... Read More

A good pipe tobacco,no bite and a nice and subtile vanilla flavour.I will try de Captain Black Regular soon.
Not great
January 23, 2018
Product: Captain Black Gold 12oz
I found that it burns hot and it doesn't have a very pleasant taste and also, if I pack it too tight it doesn't dray well, too loose and it burns fast. It's smoke able but I wouldn't re-order.
No es la gran cosa

Product: Captain Black Gold 12oz
Cualquier persona podría imaginar que al tener la etiqueta de "Gold" sería algo especial, sin embargo no supera al Original. Lo volvería a comprar solo si no hubiera otro disponible.
Unremarkable

Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Room note is very good but short-lived. Burns easily and is very mild. So mild, in fact, that it just kind of smokes.
My first on Aromatics and Ill always have one stored.

Product: Captain Black Gold 12oz
Yup. Its sweet. good flavor. its been 1 year since I got my first unbranded pipe. And a Lot I have learned. Now I'm always sure to keep this one stored and enjoy it with any of the Peterson's Ive bought here.
Now. I do mix it with something "ne... Read More
utral" more akin to cigars tobacco: that makes the "tongue-bite" to almost disappear.
I would give it 1 and a half points on the Strength.

This tobacco is an traditional between pipersmoker. Something sweet, very smooth and soft. Ideal to star the day
Filler tobacco
August 27, 2016
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
he more time that I smoke pipes, the less I am inclined to use OTC blends. The chemical flavouring, the cheap packing make them nearly impossible to enjoy. But amongst all that, some of them rises well. And this is one of the examples. This is a beau... Read More
tiful blend by Captain Black. It is not at all complex in flavour or aroma. Just a straight blend that burns nice, stays lit quite well, and have a very pleasant aroma that even non-smoker complement. It has a consistent sweet taste all over and a nice after-taste.. And it produces a considerable body of smoke, one that lingers in the room giving it a distinct scent. I never got tongue-bitten by this one, but since it burns well and fast.. I presume care needs to be taken not to overheat it. Read Less

Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
I just started trying to smoke a pipe...after not ever having smoked cigarettes or cigars. I've always loved the odor of pipe tobacco but really disliked that of cigars/cigarettes. I said, what the hell, going to give it a shot.

ri Meerschaum cob pipe and chose this tobacco to start. I had no bad experience, the aroma was good but the after taste was very reminiscent of just a cigarette, didn't care for it. I hope to find a tobacco that have an after taste like that. Read Less
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Did not enjoy this CB blend, I did not find much of a room note and it did provide me with a tongue bite. Will not purchase again.
Average, leaves bad taste
October 06, 2014
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
I'm new to pipe smoking and have tried a few different tobaccos. This one from Captain Black smokes slowly and evenly. Burns down to a soft white ash, no liquid residues. I can smell and taste some vanilla and caramel. But overall it doesn't give ... Read More

Not bad...
February 13, 2014
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
I've tried all the Captain Black blends (except Round Taste) and I would have to say this one is the least aromatic. It smells nice and tastes okay, but Dark and Original are still my favorites.
Product: Captain Black Gold 1.5oz
Not too bad, mild, but trhe last 2 bowls gave me a bit of tongue bite.
