Dream Castle Tobacco Company Black and Burley

I used to buy the big 14 oz bags of this under the brand Blenders Gold. I smoked it exclusively for a couple years, and I bought another bag recently for a trip down memory lane. As already noted, it may be the poor man's substitute for Capt Black, and I think it is very good in it's own right. I find it to be a simple, sweet tobacco especially suited for a paper filter drugstore pipe. The filter keeps things dry, and I swear I can taste a tobacco under all the goop. Once, I smoked a pipe of this outside in the parking ramp at work, and an annoyed cigarrette-head crossly asked if I was smoking a candy bar. I guess that answers for the room note! This tobacco stays fresh forever, so a 14 oz bag will fill the bill for an occasional sweet treat for years to come. It is fun to break out the old Dr. and have a bowl of the tobacco that lead to my current pipe collecting and smoking hobby. Even though I now enjoy all the high-end tinned stuff in my expensive fancy dancy briars, I still return to this once in a while. Try it- for the price, even if you don't like it you can give it away, or tuck it back in a drawer for next year.

The best feature of this tobacco is the price. That's alot of tobacco for only about $11.00. If I remember correctly, it was a 14oz. bag at my local drugstore. You can find better tobacco elsewhere, but at the time, it seemed like a good value. The bag has lasted three summers! So, I guess it was a pretty good investment.

This is a very inexpensive, but pleasant aromatic if your tastes lean that way.

Typical choco-nilla liqueur type flavoring. Reminds me for all the world of McClelland's Mellow Mack, but with loads more PG.

Smoke this in a cob if you must smoke it at all.

There are mountains of aromatics available online that are better than this...
