First English I really liked.

Sour, smokey, earthy, "incense" like quality, with an etherical background of sweetness. Despite having 12 different tobaccos in it, it is a very balanced blend, it isn't too complex, or my palate isn't that sensitive to the tastes. I don't find many English blends that I enjoy, but I will keep looking, this one is amazing. After smoking more than half of the cake, I broke it up and shoved it in a jar to age, as this blend has a lot of Virginia in it.

A wonderful smoke....Read More

First Bowl Wasn't Bad

May 12, 2024

I just started piping, nearly four months ago. So take this 'first bowl' review with that in mind. I emptied the contents from one of my 32 oz latch-lock jars and needed to decide; "What's Next?" So of the 200 or so blends I've collected, some for now and most for aging, I saw I have four Captain Earle blends. I wanted to open something more "English"...and I see I have three tins each of three Earle's blends, but just one tin of 'Reflections.' So I looked at the star-ratings and saw Reflections was the lowest rated of the four I have. I then found the tin and noticed it's dated June 2022; one month shy of two years old. So I popped its lid and broke apart the biscuit. When I lit it up...I was really enjoying it. Couldn't quite yet declare what I was tasting, but was pleasing nonetheless. It was a bit better, though, the first half of the bowl. I found myself thinking about experimenting and adding a touch more Latakia. So I smoked this in my Clarin: Canadian Clay; it was a bit on the dry side, but wasn't too dry. It was tasty, again couldn't put my finger on what I tasted. It was smooth and easy on the tongue. But it gave me a bit of "retro-hale" bite in the nose. And no unpleasant aftertaste. I will smoke it in a few Cobs and Briars and then return to *edit* this review when I've gotten halfway through this tin. So for now I give it 4★ today...in keeping with the average you all give it. Four stars is my rating given for "I like it and will likely keep some around to smoke from time to time, not daily, and because I agree with 4★'s. Only 'Daily' gets 5★'s from me....Read More

Underwhelming

I found this balanced, smooth, and well-behaved as far as burning goes. But I'd say the flavor is a bit TOO balanced - it's so very even that nothing stands out. It's not at all bad, but it's not particularly great either.

Wonderful Morning Bowl

A wonderful balanced blend in a nice bake form. the flavors and delightful with a touch of Latakia and Orientals which give the smoke. The orientals come first followed by the Viginia and a hint of Latakia rounding out an excellent blend. I really enjoy the Captain Earle's blends and the fact that they are cakes. There is somehting abuot a cake that just hits the mark in flavor melding. I hope to try all the blends. Quality is very high. (Great work C&D) on preserving this brand....Read More

Tin note of tangy sour, sweet fruit and spices. Tobacco is a reddish brown and light brown marbled Krumble Kake. Moisture content is good. Kake breaks apart and rubs out with a little effort. Burns slow with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. No flavoring detected. Taste is medium and consistent, with notes of wood, leather, bread, fermented sour vegetation, stewed spiced fruit, sugar, hay, toast, floral, sweet savory, tangy citrus, rich earth, herbal, dry, acidic/spicy, orange peel/zest, a lemon grass background note, and a peppery retro. Oriental/Turkish is leading with Virginias, Latakia and Cavendish supporting. Burley and Kentucky are cheering from the cheap seats. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

Pleasant addition to the Captain Earle family

Captain Earle has done it again!

This is delicious! this is definitely the mildest of the Capt'n's english offerings. The latakia is on the back end, just giving some smokey goodness on the back end of a sweet, bready, dried fruit/fig/raisin like profile, with hints of hay, and earthy tones while also giving some tongue tickle and spice from the orientals. The pefect name for this blend, as when you are smoking it, you will be forced to sit back, and reflect on not only the goodness you are tasting and smelling, but just reflecting on good thoughts, vibes, and good times overall. Happy smokes!...Read More
