Captain Black: Royal 7oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-537-0020

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 royal-blue color palette, Captain Black's aptly named Royal mixture combines Black and Gold Cavendishes with toppings of vanilla, molasses, caramel, and subtle liqueur for a delightfully complex flavor profile and enticing room note.

Classic, nostalgic and plain good

Product: Captain Black Royal 7oz
30 year pipe enthusiast here. Smokingpipes customer since the beginning. 25 or more of those years was devoted solely to English blends like 965 (primarily the old Murray’s version), Gawith blends like the long gone “Pink Champagne”, Peterson’s Old Dublin, etc. But age (ugh) and changes in taste have sort of redirected me to tobaccos that are light and easy. My father, who was a lifelong pipeman, enjoyed Captain Black Royal very much. I never did. But I have found that it has filled the bill for me lately. The aroma is wonderful (classic and nostalgic pipe), it lights and burns easily, it is easy on the tongue, and while it is somewhat sweet, it still tastes like tobacco. And if you are a lot younger than me, you can grab a can of Captain Black, a large freehand danish pipe (I still have my dad’s 1970s Karl Erik), light it up and be transported in time to an era of leisure suits, “yacht rock” music and restaurants/lounges where pipe smoking was always welcomed!

More than 20+ years of enjoying my pipe at my desk, car on my boat. Tried many, but this is the best and most accepted by people around me. Just wish they still have the 12oz cans.

Of all the Captain Black blends I think royal is the best. Its the smoothest and the sweetest. I really like this aromatic.

Captain Black Royal is straightforward, cool burning and consistent throughout. The amazing tin note is matched only by the equally appealing room note. This blend reminds me of my Granddad every time I enjoy a bowl.
Full of regrets...

I regret having ordered this. It was pleasant for the first 3 ounces, and now I'm stuck with more than half a tin that I dread to even touch and another 4oz of 1-q stockpiled... With that said, if you're just starting with pipe smoking like I was, just order small amounts of this, enjoy while you can, and move on from there. I don't have a sweet-tooth in general, so the whole taste and smell of this have become unbearable. But if you like cookies and cotton candy, you'll love this baccy....Read More
