For a tobacco so ubiquitous, so marketed to the novice pipe smoker, Captain Black tobaccos are incredibly challenging to smoke. They come from a time where pipe smoking was far more prevalent so there would always be someone around to show a new smoker the ropes. They also came from a time where manual transmission was not just called standard but was the standard, when taxes were done by hand, and we were plotting our way to the stars with slide rules. These three Captain Black offerings, the Original, Gold, and Cherry all have lovely flavor but are primed to give a smoker, lubber or rated able, a fair challenge to smoke without numerous relights and a burnt tongue.
captain black tobaccoTIN AROMACaptain Black Original has a rich and inviting aroma of vanilla, raisins, and milk chocolate. The pouches are the standard fold style with a bit of adhesive tab that lets you reclose the pouch quite a few times before it begins to fail. The added humectant means you can keep this out for several weeks before you need to be concerned about this drying out excessively. Captain Black has stuck to a basic look for the last seven decades, a solid color background which indicates which blend it is, with a black silhouette of a tall ship. It’s an iconic package that is easy to recognize for anyone who has been in the hobby for awhile. The latest iteration gives us a simplified, almost clip art rendition of the three-master, which gives it a stripped down, timeless appearance.

Captain Black Pipe tobacco is a blend created during a time when pipe smoking was far more prevalent than any other form of tobacco smoking. Released in 1956, Captain Black pipe tobacco became and remains among the best-selling pipe tobaccos in the United States. Captain Black is suitable for both a beginner and experienced pipe smoker, depending on the pipe tobacco you choose. I had quite a few relights trying to smoke this stuff.
