Captain Black Regular is presented in chunky Black Cavendish with ribbon cut Burley. The sweet casing is just sweet, but not distinguishable as vanilla or something . A mild and sweet smoke, a little bity when pushed with an excellent room note. Every once in a while there are hints of nutty, toasty tobaccos (Burley?) in taste, but then again you wouldn’t buy CB for that. In that light, it does pretty well. It is sweeter than all the others, has more flavor than all the others.

Lemon, vanilla, spiced rum, salt, mild hay, and now quite vinegary. It settles into this quickly and is very consistent through the bowl.
I started smoking Captain Black flavors about 15 years ago, quit pipes for a while and recently started back up again. All burn well, flavorful with pleasant smell. Captain Black is always a good buy. Smooth smoke without tongue bite.
I also bought a pouch of cb 3 blends smoked a bowl of white before I get any taste or flavor I was half way and then it was taste less. I still have it and smoke just the heck of it. When I first stared smoking I tried a few store brands and 1-Q, at that time, this was one of my favorites.
I do believe Lane has changed this, and I can’t wait to try 1Q to see if it like the Captain I remember. I would buy it again-albeit probably out of necessity. I have been trying some of these legacy blends recently just to round out my experiences.
Whether it’s that slightly sweet caramel taste or the easy load straight from the pouch I’m not sure. All in all a vanilla aromatic that doesn’t really stand up in the huge crowd of vanilla aromatics; not bad, but unlikely to intentionally buy again. Luckily without the tongue-burning steam. Smoking, captain black tobacco it has a tobacco base, but it’s harder to perceive than the average. Someone here described it as cardboard, and it worked on my senses — it did have a sort of flat paper-like quality to it. I am very surprised that this blend is not one of the top reviewed tobaccos in the database stats.
