I can’t tell if the nip on my tongue is pepper from the Virginia or tongue bite. It sweetens up with more salt and a strong lemon zest. Settles here in the balance of sugar-salt-sour. Some toast comes in about halfway, but it is otherwise sweet, salty, lemon, strawberry, vanilla through most of the bowl.

This stuff burned effortlessly, a little too effortlessly. It burned my tongue fiercly despite all my efforts peterson pipes to smoke slow, cool, and dry. Yet like Captain Black Original I was quite impressed with the flavor.
SMOKE & ROOM NOTEThe heavy cavendish component gives all of these tobaccos a silky mouthfeel, but the smoke is strangely thin. Captain Black Gold is much more natural in aroma, hay, a hint of vanilla, and bit of an ammonia off-note. Captain Black Gold is well not quite gold, but in that direction. It is drier to the touch than the Original.
Herman G. Lane, one of the founder’s grandsons, emigrated to the United States in 1938 and re-established the company in Manhattan. Captain Black itself made its first appearance in a 1956 catalog, where it was touted as ‘slightly aromatic, slow burning & pleasant,’ and sold for 25 cents per ounce. Captain Black has been the biggest selling line of tobaccos in the United States for almost fifty years, and this one is the original.
My suspicion is that they soak some light cavendish in cherry goop and mix that with Captain Black Original to produce this blend.

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. America’s number one selling pipe tobacco brand in the United States has a blend for everyone. The delightfully flavorful Gold of this Golden Cavendish blend has a balanced body with a mellow taste.
I was shocked how much real tobacco flavor came through, mostly in the form of the Virginia, lending the lemon and hay notes. If I could figure out how to tame the mechanics this would be something I could find myself reaching for, particularly when I was smoking around company. Captain Black Original certainly provides the sociable portion of the pipe smoking experience, emitting a warm tobacco and vanilla smell. If you buy a pipe tobacco aroma candle, you would want it to smell like this humble white pouch.

These Captain Black blends started the full-aromatic craze with their full, overwhelmingly pleasant aromas.
