Pleasant and enjoyable

Captain Earle is batting 1.000 for me so far as I try each of his blends in turn. His private stock is well selected. A fair amount of complexity in this one but I can really focus and pick out the taste of each of the components with little effort. The format of a crumble plug is convenient as well. Pleasant surprise!...Read More

Excellent Medium Bodied English

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 for what it is but missing something. I prefer the mystic blend it has what's missing

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 and 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....Read More

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. The start is intense but settles down into 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 More

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 smelling it haha! But wow is it a pleasant smoke! It’s so smooth, and deliciously Smokey, the aroma is addicting! I was afraid this was going to be so strong but its amazingly mellow, relaxing, and intoxicating! Just a lil nic buzz which was kinda nice, haha! Definitely one of my new favorites! Cheers!...Read More

A Pipeful of Pleasure

'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 or 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 More
