Captain Earle's: Ten Russians 8oz Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-463-0012
Captain James Earle first took to sea at age 12, embarking on a life-long passion that saw him ascend to the rank of Master of the Charles W. Morgan, the last of the wooden whaling ships, currently docked in Mystic, Connecticut. Manufactured by Cornell & Diehl, Captain Earle's pipe tobaccos pay tribute to his legacy, each blend in the series alluding to an important time in his life.
Ten Russians is a true delight for lovers of Latakia, and it's inspired by the true story of Captain Earle's rescue of ten Russians marooned in a sampan in the Sea of Japan. Rich and full-bodied, Ten Russians is a pressed crumble cake of Latakia, Orientals, and Virginias, delivering a perfectly balanced blend for the true aficionado of full English mixtures.

easy to lit,burns consistently with minimal amount of relights.
Despite a generous portion of Latakia,for me this is a perfectly balanced non pretentious,non complex blend.
Deep,rich,dark,smoky,creamy,salty,punchy Latakia with an earthy,sweet,zesty and tangy,sour,dark fruit sweetness with hint of spice from the Virginia,Orientals and Cavendish throughout the bowl.Sip it slow you will get a thick,robust and creamy mouthfeel,retrohale it for a wonderful hint of spice,French inhale it to indulge the dark sweet floral notes..oh,just love it!
It is smooth,full flavored,full bodied,no rough edges,no harshness,just pure delightful smokes!
On the nicotine side,it is mild to medium scale as I am quite a nicotine tolerance person.
Ten Russians is a delicious and one of the best English blends around!
Solid 5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️...Read More

with just the smallest tweaks to the recipe. Ten Russians is very good, I have almost a pound in the cellar and I will grab another pound for later. The thing that disappoints me however is that all these "separate" companies are all really the same company. Laudisi (i.e., Smokingpipes) owns and/or controls most of the big ones: C&D, G.L. Pease, Two Friends, Captain Earle's, Castello, Briar Works are all sub labels of the same conglomerate company, and even Sutliff/Mac Baren are subsidiaries or affiliated partners. There are companies which have been around for hundreds of years and, hence, are much older than Laudisi and not outright owned by them, such as the two Gawith companies and Peterson just to name three, but Laudisi still maintains monopolistic distribution agreements with most of them. Consequently, all these companies source from the same farms, the same tobaccos, and use the same four master blenders, so they all taste the same. And this makes sense because they simply are exactly the same. There is no choice, only the illusion of choice. You like Captain Earle better than Drucquer & Sons? Wrong, they're exactly the same. Same tobaccos from the same farms blended by the same blend masters. I spend about a thousand dollars a month here, so obviously it's not that bad, but the whole illusion of choice thing is very frustrating. Of course I'll keep buying, keep consuming product like a good little piggy, but I will also keep wishing there were more genuine variety and competition. 4.5 stars because the blend is nice and they used less of the sugary chemical topping....Read More

As with all C.E. Blends it’s great flavor while this is very heavy in Latakia it is a wonderful blend on those days where your taster is not working so well this blend has flavor to spare and comes through well keep a few in the cellar for those dark days

Product: Captain Earle's Ten Russians 8oz
te is medium to full and very consistent, with notes of floral, smoky, herbal, spices, wood, leather, incense, musty vegetation, savory, dry, tangy, citrus peel/zest, fermented sour, ripe sweet fruit, bready, mildly bitter, a sweet grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Latakia is leading with Virginias and Oriental/Turkish supporting. Cavendish is cheering from the cheap seats. Room note is tolerable to strong, and aftertaste is great....Read More
