Lane Limited Captain Black Royal

This is the original bang for your buck aromatic. Ubiquitous, pleasant aroma, smokes easily and tobacco taste is even detectable. It's not a substitute, except in emergencies, for premium tobaccos, aromatic or not, but it is perfectly pleasant to smoke from time to time. Enjoyable in much the same way as reading "Charlie and The Chocalate Factory" after a diet heavy on Henry James.

Everyone should at least try this once.

Having been smoking for five years I finally got to try this blend, since it is considered the best of Captain Black blends I had to try it. From all accounts I agree.

This is a rum flavored black Cavendish and burley blend. This smells very close to "Wilkshire" from people who distribute Lane bulks.

If you feel like an aromatic and don't want to go to your local Tobacconist, give this a try.

The ultimate beginners tobacco! This stuff is pretty darn good for a drugstore aromatic and I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that it's what got me smoking a pipe. I believe that taking up smoking a pipe is kind of like a crap shoot. If you don't have someone knowledgeable there to show you the ropes- you might pick up something awful like chokum stiff cherry or "low" IQ! As it is- if you're lucky- you pick up a package of this stuff and you're off to the races. With a very subdued vanilla casing and real tobacco flavor (if you look hard enough), this stuff took me down the road to the good blends. I feel this stuff is better than the white version with a much subdued amount of flavoring. If you are recommending a tobacco to a beginning smoker or are just out in the boondocks and can't find premium baccky- this is the way to go.

I'm a new pipe smoker, and for people like me I highly reccomend this tobacco. This is the best tobacco available at drug stores, and this is my favorite kind of Captain Black. It is fairly moist, burns well, and never leaves me with tongue bite. It has a vanilla flavor with a sweet, almost marshmellow-like after taste. The flavor is milder than the white Captain Black. It seems like a good tobacco to break in a pipe. It has a very nice aroma, and when you consider the price and availability you can't do much better.

This is a tobacco that seems to be present in every drug store in America. My friend and I used to take this out his dads tin and smoke it in our corn cobs. It's a cavendish tobacco with I believe a burley base. It lites well which it should with all the chemical agents added for help. It has both a pleasant pouch and room aroma that will definitly please most. Be warned it will leave some goopy dottle in your pipe bowl when your done, but it's a good tobacco to cut your teeth on.

For a drugstore anywhere tobacco, this is actually smokeable. The nice thing about Cap't Black (Blue) is that if I ever run out of a really premium tobacco and I'm in some out-of-the-way place, I can probably get this and be happy.

It came to me fairly dry, I hydrated it with a small piece of a Fuji apple for 3 days and the wonderous aromas of the fruit and tobacco intregued me. It lit well, burned evenly, some tounge bite, but not bad.

I finished the pouch and thought I had gotten my money's worth. Good for a beginner.
