Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
It is grape flavored. Purists won't like it, but if you like aros and have an open mind and palate, you might just like it...as I did.
Good Golly Grape Ghost Galore

Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
My buddy and I meet up regularly on Saturday. He, my son, and I smoke tobacco and converse. We often purchase new tobaccos to try. We had heard about CB Grape, so he purchased it. He said he had left it in his truck at work and it overpowered his v... Read More
ehicle with "GRAPE" scent. He had to put it in the backseat, away from other tobaccos. Any pipe you smoked it in "ghosted" the pipe badly. Be warned, any pipe. As far as the CB Grape, it was nice. It had a nice grape flavor. Something similar to Grape Nehi or Fanta Grape. If you like that in your smoke, this is for you. The 100 or so yards around my porch smelled like "GRAPE". I think we attracted a fresh swarm of Africanized bees from South America and kids look for a shaved ice stand. The tobacco burned down to a fine white ash, and the smoke had the CB gray-white smoke. It burned fast, as CB tends to do. Overall, I considered the experience good. I am not sure I would buy this to have. They issue not being the tobacco, but the "ghosting" quality it has on everything. It permeates the area it is in heavily. It has been several months and the swarm of bees has either left or gone underground. Read Less
Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
This has the potential to ghost everything around it. The grape smell was so strong that I had to double bag it. When I smelled the tobacco directly, you get a face full of grape and chemicals. I used a cob for this one because I knew it would ghost ... Read More
badly, and sure enough it did. The moisture was ok. When I lit it, i found most of the grape was in the aroma - not so much in the flavor. It bit pretty bad too. I had a few bowls and threw the rest out. There are better aros out there. Read Less
Like smoking a pack of Big League Chew
May 18, 2018
Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
I'll preface this by saying I'm not an aromatic lover. there are a couple of tried and true aros in my collection, such as Lane 1-Q and BCA, and McClelland's Vanilla Black Cavendish, but I generally prefer a non-aromatic tobacco when I don't have to ... Read More
consider what any non-smokers around me are smelling. This, as gimmicky as it is, won it's way into my aromatic collection the moment I lit it. It's such a strong and artificial grape flavor, and while that doesn't sound like it's all that, it hearkens back to a very specific memory in my childhood, sharing a pack of grape-flavored big league chew with my dad. The flavor itself does wander occasionally throughout the smoke, but the aroma is ever-present, and my friends commented on how "aggressively grape-y" it smells, but in a good way. Solid aro blend for the price, that I think all pipe-smokers should try at least once. Be careful, though, as id does ghost your pipe like nobody's business. I suggest dedicating a nice 'n' cheap cob to this blend. Read Less
The New Penzance!

Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
Or so a buddy on a forum jokingly called it.
I gave the blend 4 Stars because even though I'm not someone who wants a Grape Bubblicious flavoured pipe tobacco, there are surely some who do.
That's f*****g GRAPE APE!

Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
This smoke has got to be the grapiest grape I ever f*****g graped!! I mean smoked, but you get the picture? Holy s**t this stuff is grape!!
It does taste and smell exactly like the famed Grape BLC. Wow! That's what I'm talking about here! This stuff... Read More
isn't for the faint at heart. This is where drinking in your smoke really means something. A word of warning although. Sometimes, when you first fire the b***h up, the whiff of the first pull is so concentrated that the tangy flavor smells almost like piss or urea. It quickly mellows down however to the dead ringer of B.L.Chew or when you let the kids make Kool-aid. You know, when the little b*****d has it so saturated that you almost have to heat it up to get the sugar to disappear!!!
It's a grape buy! Get a bunch!! Read Less

Horrid! I'm a regular Lane smoker, but couldn't manage a 2nd bowl. Don't like the kiddie tie in with the naming of this atrocity either. What a Colossal Mistake (on Lane's part & mine.
Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
Very artificial, low quality tobacco. As if Captain Black could get any more ridiculous.
Favorite Captain Black

Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
I Smoke a wide variety of brands price and flavors. I've tried many in the captain black family and the grape is by far the best. I smoke it out of an unfiltered corn cob. Great flavor but it does turn bitter by the end of the bowl. Sometimes very ... Read More

Strong and too flavory

Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
It is strong. And a bit over-flavoured, to my taste. Perhaps it will do better which mixed with light non-flavoured.
The Grape Gatsby

Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
Wow! This was a very interesting experience. The aroma of grape was intense before lighting, very reminiscent of grape-flavored candy, gum, or pop. The taste was much less bold after lighting. I didn’t enjoy the film that coated the inside of my mout... Read More

Captain Black Grape: The Smell of Disappointment
March 16, 2019
Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
The smell of this tobacco in the packaging is outstanding. Smoking it, however, presents an empty, flat cavendish flavor with a barely perceptible hint of grape. Smell in package: 20/10, Taste/Smell when smoking: 1/10. Extremely disappointing given h... Read More
ow awesome it smells.
It works well as a vehicle air freshener for a short time, however. Read Less
Ahhh, Captain Black "Purple". Who knew?
June 08, 2018
Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
I don't recall ever sitting down for a smoke and thinking “I wish they had a grape flavored tobacco”. The idea alone sounds so wrong...or like a fake non-tobacco they'd sell kids at the ballpark like candy cigarettes. Even among aromatic fans, it's g... Read More
ot to sound odd at first. Of all the drugstore variety tobaccos I've had, Captain Black usually does pretty good blends and I kept seeing positive reviews so, I bought this to try with my buds and surprisingly, we kind of liked it. It is sweet with no bite at all, tastes just like you'd think, and overall this is palatable stuff for an aro. It loads and smokes about as good as Original (White), and leaves little dottle behind. I have a soft spot for Captain Black Royal and Dark when reaching for an aromatic, and Grape has become a decent third option. It's a blend that you just have to try (if you're so inclined). I'm sure it's one that you'll either love or hate. If you are NOT a fan of grape flavored Nehi, Airhead taffy or Bubblicious gum, don't waste your time because it is that GRAPE! It has a pretty strong aroma to match too. I made the mistake of leaving it in my truck the first night it was unsealed and it took a week for the grape odor to subside. I could smell it inside my truck from ten feet away! Probably just as well, you don't want this near other tobacco...it might just ghost them through proximity. Speaking of ghost...well, y'know this is going to, I'll leave it at that. I'm still puzzled that it's as good as it is. Just reviewing it makes me want a bowl. Read Less

Not quite perfection, but in the aroma department it is.It is sweet, grapey and is only a little tangy. Many sweet and fruity tobaccos have a sharp tongue bite, this grape is pretty mild . I smoke it as a change of pace tobacco.. It adds variety to m... Read More

Not too bad
November 24, 2017
Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
This is one of those tobaccos that I reach for when I can't decide what I'm in the mood for. Pouch note reminds me a lot of grape Big League Chew gum. I haven't noticed any bite, and the pouch I got wasn't goopy, it could be smoked right out of the b... Read More
ag. I can't say that I'd cellar this or keep a bunch on hand, but it's a nice return to childhood every now and then. Read Less
Not bad
September 12, 2017
Product: Captain Black Grape 1.5oz
It's not as bad as a previous commenter mentioned. It does have a powerful fruity bite initially, then becomes more a mellow flavor with a hint of grape after puffing on it a while. The tobacco quality is good as with other Captain Black blends. Try ... Read More
adding a 50-50 mixture with another Captain Black blend such as original or royal and it turns out with an interesting flavor. Read Less
