I was pleasantly surprised by this blend. After stopping into my local tobacconist a few times I noticed that this had appeared on the shelf. When I asked why it was there the man behind the counter said an elderly gentleman had moved to the area recently and requested they stock it, being as he had smoked it for the last thirty or so years. He would stop by every week or so and pick up a pouch, which meant they had a bit more than they really needed. I decided if it was good enough for it to be the only thing the guy smoked it deserved a try.
I will not be buying Captain Black EVER again. This hits my OTC aromatic needs right on the nose. Pleasant, good amount of flavor and a price that blows CB out of the water. The flavor is a coffee heavy mocha and doesn't seem overly cased, the backbone tobacco being of decent quality.
Works best in a large pipe, but might not appeal to some. As a bonus, I now know what had been smoked in my GBD Super-Q before I got it.

If you are just starting off as a pipe smoker then this is a good "starter" blend. Very mild, packs, lights and burns well, and can be satisfying if unexciting.

If you are starting out with pipe smoking or want a "generic" tasting, mildly sweet blend, Royal Comfort will fit the bill. I smoked this on and off many years ago and was never disatisfied. Over the years I have had the pleasure of smoking much better blends and as a result, Royal Comfort has fallen by the wayside. It is too minor league for me at this point in my pipe smoking experience. I can still give it a hearty recommendation since there is nothing wrong with it. If you are smoking out, you probably won't get any of those "it's a crime to smoke" stares that are all too prevalent in society these days.

I have smoked royal comfort for years and would not change. I have tried others but come back to royal comfort.

Bought in semi-desperation, low expectations, pleasant surprise. Not half bad for a drugstore type. Not heavily Aromatic.
