Lane Limited - Captain Black Royal.
Note: this review is based on 1oz loosely pouched from 4noggins.
The blend's a medium sized ribbon with a far higher proportion of brown Cavendish compared to black. The aroma from the pouch seems quite busy, with the easiest addition to identify being the vanilla. Because mine was supplied in a bulk form the moistness of the blend's unimpeachable.
The smoke? Yes, it's a bit of a clichéd beginners flavour but I find it very enjoyable. Once again, the vanilla is the biggest taste, but it's well complimented by the others. I find the molasses/caramel joined in 2nd place, and give a slight stickiness to the smoke. I couldn't say what type of alcohol/liquor is included, I can only identify an alcoholic sharpness as opposed to any actual flavour. The tobaccos' taste exactly as I suspected they would: a little clumsy! Sometimes stronger aromatics can bite but I get absolutely no aggression from this at all.
The room-note's very pleasant, and the nicotine's mild.
This is one of the best aromatic blends I've had: thick and heavy smoke, no bite, and a delicious flavour.
Highly recommended.

I love this blend of Captain Black! It takes me back to the days when I visited my grandfather and he smoked CB Royal out of an old Dr. Grabow or a corn cob. The smell not only brings back my memories, I have had countless people come to me and say that it reminds them of some sentimental time in their life, and generally of a special person who is long past now. But, nostalgia aside, the blend is a fine aromatic. I love the casing flavor that isn't too overbearing. The ribbon cut baccky is easy to load into any guage pipe and is just as easy to light. There is very little tounge bite, but if you just treat it in a casually easy way, then it will treat you well. I find that this is best when I want to have a break from my normal smoke: Sultan's Blend. Highly recomended to any pipe smoker.

I am a big fan of the Original so I was excited to give the Royal a try. It did not disappoint.
From the moment I opened the pouch, I was struck by that familiar pleasant vanilla aroma of the Original. It then it shifted to a heavy Amaretto scent, which I also found quite enjoyable. It then somehow made yet another pivot, and I then detected a chocolatey raisin smell (think Raisenette candy). It was like rapid olfactory sensation.
It all adds up to a more complex blend than the Original, in my opinion, though the subtle vanilla flavor still leads the way. The other flavors really compliment that, and the Amaretto seems to give it a boldness that is lacking in the original. The chocolately/raisin thing also adds that baked good quality when it melds with the vanilla.
Room note: A real crowd pleaser. Nothing objectionable about it. Will summon the nostalgia of your childhood.

I never cared for 1-Q but I sure do enjoy Captain Black Royal. Could they be exactly the same thing? Absolutely. I suspect there is a slight difference though. Maybe the intensity of the topping, the proportions or cut of the tobacco, or PG content. Whatever it is I like this more. This is a mild blend with an intoxicating room note. The Virginia cavendish provides some tobacco taste beneath the topping. The flavoring tastes like a mix of caramel and vanilla with that toasted marshmallow note that 1-Q has. A simple stuff your pipe and smoke away tobacco.

From cheap tobaccos is probably the best choice. For beginners, the most ideal option. Without unnecessary flavors, very light but creates an amazing vanil atmosphere. after fifteen years of smoking is still one of the favorite

I decided to order a pouch of CB Royal because I instantly had fallen in love with Regular. This is an excellent all day smoke that packs easy, burns well, and had a pleasant flavor profile that is a little less overpowering than CB Regular and offers more complexity in flavors.

Captain Black Royal, to me, beats out it's cousin Captain Black White. For one thing it is milder and not as full of bite, and has more of a pleasant room note. It takes a light well, and requires minimum relights. The vanilla component is obvious and adds some sweetness to the blend. There is some bite and harshness though, if smoked too fast, so those who are sensitive to this should look elsewhere.

This has to be one of my favorite tobaccos. It is mellow and mild with a sweet vanilla top note. It will not bite. It burns cool and clean and leaves just a slight amount of moisture in the bottom of the bowl.

Captain Black Royal is a fine smoking tobacco, and is my favorite of the CB line. As with all Captain Black blends though, it will bite if pushed too hard. A good all day aromatic.
