A Decent Smoke.
April 23, 2020
Product: Captain Earle's Diamond Head 2oz
I've been smoking it for a couple days now, and it seems to get a bit better each time. It wasn't terribly moist out of the tin, but I do reccomend a little dry time. It seems more of a crumble kake than a plug to me, which I found odd, wasn't exactl... Read More
y expecting that, but I treated as a plug all the same slicing thinly through the layers to create a shag cut.
The latakia is a bit more mild than other English blends, certainly not a "lat-bomb". The earthy Virginia comes through enough to be noticed, bit it too isnt over bearing and compliments the orientals well with a touch of sour earthiness.
Overall it's an enjoyable mild english plug, not much utterly remarkable about it but it's good. And imagine it will only get better with age. Definitely worth a try if you haven't, but be patient with it and give her time to breath. Read Less
Good ol' Captain Earl!

This is a full flavored English shag that has been pressed into a cake. The moisture was perfect straight out of the can and it smoked quite well. I will purchase this blend again

The first couple of bowls I was on the edge if I really liked this or not. Then I switched to a meerschaum pipe and the full flavor came through. This is great for a person that likes full English blends. I would recommend giving it a try and I perso... Read More

I posted a bad review at first, This isn't bad once you let it dry out some. The smell of fertilizer go's away once dry, smells more like a camp fire now which I kind of like, this might even be good for blending, I will try that too.

I'm picky I guess. not into the smell or the taste. More like burnt fertilizer. To each his own I guess. Just being honest.
I don't reach for it often, but its good

Tin note of sour fruit wine and smoke. Tobacco is a marbled dark brown, black and tan Krumble Kake. Moisture content is a little high, some may want to dry it a bit. Rubs out easily and burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium and nic i... Read More

Taste is medium to full and consistent, with notes of smoky, musty fermented sour vegetation, toast, herbal spices, wood, leather, floral, mildly spicy, zest citrus, acidic, earthy, orange peel, incense, a lemon grass background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Oriental/Turkish supporting and Virginia supporting from the rear. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great. Read Less

Having favored English blends ever since I started smoking a pipe in 2000, I had never tried a Captain Earle's blend until recently. That was when I opened a tin of Diamond Head for the first time, and it was love from the first puff! With just the r... Read More

Product: Captain Earle's Diamond Head 2oz
I found the blend to be a good mix of flavor with a nice finish.
It does become a bit intense toward the end of a bowl yet there is a good balance.
The word “Balance” and “Restraint” come to mind during a bowl.
Sweet and Strong work together to a fin... Read More
ish that was a tic under medium.
I liked how the blend tells a story of “Marriage” in tobacco.
C&D are the experts in creating blends with themes and while I do not like them all, I recognize they hit the marks intended.
Recommend to all Enthusiasts and newcomers as this blend offers a lot to all. Read Less

This is my second Captain Earle blend (First being ten russians) and it does not disappoint. While this isn't rated as a strong smoke, it affects me more than Ten Russians. If I had to compare it to another blend, I would compare it to Dan Tobacco's ... Read More
"Old Ironsides" but better by a longshot. Ultimately, if you like Latakia, but don't want a total Lat bomb, I'd recommed going with this blend.

Excellent blend! I love the Captain Earle’s selections and this one is my favorite. It’s consistent and great from the very start to whenever you can force yourself to put it down. The best way I can describe the flavor is warm, buttery, sooty, chewe... Read More
