Lane Limited Captain Black Round Taste

Captain Black Round Taste, like all others in the CB range, is a tobacco for aromatic lovers. If you like sweet, creamy vanilla, with varying degrees of dark chocolate, nutmeg or cocoa, this is good. It smells the way an aromatic “must”: it engulfs the senses, dominates the room with a powerful zest, and most people—if not die-hard anti smokers—will compliment the aroma. It has a Christmas-late autumn-snowy weather effect on most people.

I say “must” and not “should” smell, because there are plenty aromatic tobaccos out there that, in my opinion, are better tasting, have a more defined tobacco-structure, but are not as assertive and cloying as most CB’s. Still, this is as good as MacBaren’s Vanilla Cream or any aromatic McClelland (Best of Show comes to mind), but at half the price and readily available at most tobacconists, even if they don’t carry the more sophisticated brands.

I enjoy aromatics every now and then, and of the CB range I still find the original white pouch the most appealing, followed closely by the gold one. But this is a good choice if you want something milder than the rest of the range, and not as sugary-deep as Royale or the new Black, this can be a good, easy to get, and rather cheap option.

I’m unsure why there has to be a light version of an already mild tobacco, that in result has an even flatter taste and therefore a little more bite, but oh well here it is. In comparison to the Gold version e.g. I find this nuttier, toastier (as if they used lower quality Burley or something) with less vanilla topping shining through, which is also reflected in the room note. The worst of the series and in my opinion one of the blends this world doesn’t need.

If it had to be Captain Black, I’d rather recommend Regular or Royal to you.

this tobacco is for people who want smoking without nicotine and with a lot of tongue bit.capitan black blends are highly aromatics and mild and this blend is very mild.nothing except a lot of tongue bit.

Just a pleasant and mild tobacco that everyone around you will find delightful. Smoke it slowly because this one can bite a bit. If you smoke CB Round slowly enough to avoid the bite, you also will be smoking it slowly enough to enjoy both the topping and the tobacco. I would consider this a light aromatic for the experienced smoker who wants a higher grade of tobacco than the regular CB blend. Much like I have experienced with all of the other CB blends, this one burns more rapidly than other tobaccos I smoke. It seems a well packed full bowl burns in about 1/2 to 1/3 the time that I usually get from a bowl of tobacco. That said, it burns to a very fine ash and leaves little dottle behind. I enjoyed the pouch and would recommend it as an occasional purchase.
