Good ole Americana
November 14, 2023

Product: Captain Black Original 1.5oz
I hate it when elitist say things like “only good for a beginner“. Look, hundreds of thousands of men around the world who were - are “real pipe smokers” have literally smoked nothing other than Captain black, Sir Walter Raleigh, Amphora or Borkum Riff their entire lives. This is a classic American Aromatic. Decent taste fantastic room note. Sure it’s not some crazy expensive fancy tobacco by Esoterica or GLP but it was never meant to be. It’s meant to be enjoyable and budget friendly, and that it is. Not, everybody likes Virginia/Perique, straight Burley or English blends. Harping on or belittling someone for smoking Captain Black saying that they are not a “real pipe smoker” is akin to saying about someone who only drinks Coors light that they are not a real beer drinker. At the end of the day whatever pipe tobacco you enjoy smoking the most out of whichever pipe you enjoy smoking it is the best tobacco in the world. Don’t let the elitist and naysayers tell you otherwise. If you like this stuff smoke it and don’t listen to anybody else. After all they are not gonna smoke it for you. Full disclosure it’s not my favorite by any means but I also wouldn’t be upset if it was all I had on hand. Sidenote, if you see a really really low review on any tobacco, click on that person’s profile and read all their reviews. All to many of the reviews on here are coming from people who just absolutely hate aromatic tobacco‘s, which makes me wonder why they were reviewing it in the first place. if you don’t like seafood, why would you review seafood restaurants?...Read More

Smells good but, there's tons of better options. If it's all you can get smoke it, I guess, otherwise I'd avoid it.

Good blend for mixing
March 09, 2025
By: Mark H.
Product: Captain Black Original 1.5oz
This blend is a little sweet for my taste when smoked straight but, when I mix it with a straight blend to even out the aroma, it makes for a satisfying smoke. Straight, the flavorings smother the tobacco taste. But, put a little bit of Virginia leaf or Kentucky burley with it and it becomes well-balanced and quite enjoyable....Read More

Decent

This is a decent blend. Plenty of tobacco taste, and very little topping. Was pleasantly surprised at the first bowl. This would also be a great mixer.

Biased Review
October 03, 2023
By: Pype-writer
Product: Captain Black Original 1.5oz
Fair warning this is a biased review. This was the first pipe tobacco I ever bought and I learned how to smoke a pipe just with captain black OG. That being said this is a great pipe tobacco. Hobbiton Piper said it best. Captain black is to a macbaren/GL Pease/c&d blend as miller light is to a craft beer. The complexity and depth that we are used to is not there. What is there is a wonderful vanilla note that is steady throughout the bowl. What it lacks for in complexity it makes up for in consistency. Pick up a pouch of this stuff on your next order for yardwork, camping, tinkering, etc. Simple yet tasty, cant recommend this stuff enough....Read More

Always delicious. Needs lots of dry time. Will still leave a goopy mess in the bottom of the bowl. Learn to love it.

Pouch note is marshmallow chocolatey. Rich deep vanilla with a little maple syrup in the back ground. A good sweet smoke.
