One of my top 5 English Blends. Burns good, at a medium pace, with 1-2 relights per bowl. Gives off a fresh-baked bread, fresh cut hay, and leathery room note. Taste is a smokey jerky and wheat toast. It tastes better with 24-hour dry time and then a... Read More

Product: Captain Earle's Private Stock 2oz
Its a good english blend, the latakia and Turkish tobacco definately outshine the Virginia and Perique but the flavors complement eachother well with a touch of the sweeter cavandish in the background. It's got a fair amount of spice, and smokes very... Read More

Excellent flavor, burns well, and has a very simple earthy/leather flavors to it. probably needs to age a little but it's a good start.

A very nice representation of a medium English blend. Well blened with a nice touch of Latakia and Perique and not over powering. Burns well and the crumble cake is easy to use.
Very good blend

Tin note of sour plums, tart wine, and smoky sweet. Tobacco is a marbled reddish brown and dark brown Krumble Kake. Moisture content is great. Kake breaks off and rubs out with a little effour. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is medium a... Read More
nd nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium to full and consistent, with notes of floral, tangy citrus, smoky, tart stewed fruit, musty sour vegetation, woody, leather, rasin, earth, fermented vinegary, spices, orange peel/zest, bread, mildly bitter, a savory sweet background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia barely beating Oriental/Turkish for the lead, Virginia and Perique are supporting, while Cavendish is cheering from the sidelines. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great.

Fell in love with this one immediately. Being a Pirate Kake fan I'm starting to love some of the Captain Earle's offerings more and more.

This blend is another study in how tobacco can be many things.
One feature of the series has been the interplay of sweet and strong with this offering being the more pronounced of the group for how it changes.

to a growing sweetness during a bowl. Spice tugs at mellowness while a warm glow on the tongue hints you are nearing the bottom of the bowl.
Recommend to all Enthusiasts and newcomers looking for sweet spice with a side of dark mellowness. Read Less
Luxurious

Salt water, wood, petrol, evergreen, good easy smoke, like a sea water English blend campfire. Best smoked while thinking and focusing, not during tasks; probably one of my favorites, quite rich and luxurious.
Wow, absolutely awesome!

As a relatively new pipe smoker who has only smoked aromatics I was pretty intimidated to try this! But I am soooo glad I did! It is a wonderful smoke! It smells so Smokey, earthy, and delicious in the tin and I just keep cracking it open and smellin... Read More

A Pipeful of Pleasure

Product: Captain Earle's Private Stock 2oz
'Private Stock' is another offering from the precocious Captain Earle of 'Ten Russians' fame. As 'Board_Stretcher' observes in his review, "'Private Stock' has a somewhat smokey jerkey taste," which I echo here. Once I got the bowl lit it took me 3 o... Read More
r 4 relights to keep it alive. For me, the "smokey jersey" taste became more of a barbecue flavor, with an overtone of cinnamon. It seems to me that the spiciness comes from the Orientals, which are the star of the show, backed up by the Perique, which nips the tongue with its little tap steps. The Latakia mainly makes itself known in the relights and the clouds of smoke that go with it. The Virginia is a blending agent that I am not overwhelmed by, which means that it's doing its job perfectly. All in all, it's a very pleasant smoke, one that would go well with anything from a good beer to a single malt, such as 10 year old Glenmorangie to an older Talisker. I'm not ready to smoke it all day, but I can easily see smoking it every day. A damn good pipeful! Read Less

This is very well blended, perhaps to the point where the complexities are subdued. Then so is all harshness without sacrificing body. The perfect all day English

This is a very good tobacco. It has quality components, as well a complex and pleasing overall flavor. Crumble cakes are always a plus. Pairs well with a novel about tall ships. End of speech. Ron Swanson.

Upon opening the tin i was greeted by the most perfectly looking cake. A moist brownie if you will. Medium burn with a few relights when first opening so will definitely benefit from some drying time. Mystic Blend is my favorite Capt Earle blend b... Read More
