Lane Limited Captain Black Royal

I like this tobacco because it's easy to find and cheap. That said, don't expect too much. It burns quite hot and seems to lose it's flavor. Hard to keep lit, and when you finally manage the result is only mediocre.

Not too bad for beginners.

I think this is a low grade form of Lane's 1Q. 1Q is a great aromatic. This one is not, It is a wet smoke that takes on the taste of cabbage. I left it out in the air for a week and it did not dry out. This is funcky, junky wet and just plain nasty.

Not much difference between this and Captain Black White.

I smoked lots of pouches of this when I was a beginner and now I am sorry that I spend that time smoking it.

I'm not a big fan of drugstore blends to begin with, but I just don't care too much for this one. The first pipe tobacco I smoked was Captain Black White, and since then I have tried plenty of different kinds of tobaccos, and I just don't like this one a bit. Very mild, almost stale in taste, what flavor it has is very very soapy. I would only recommend this to a newb pipe smoker who is just feeling around for their taste.

Lane 1-Q with add humectant. Not something I will smoke twice.

The only way to detect any flavor in this blend is to smoke it hot and fast, disregarding the bite. The aroma is weak, not bad, but not particularly pleasant. Go for the white blend if anything. It is cheaper, and better.

Yet another drug-store aromatic, sopping wet and guaranteed to linger in your pipe. No can do!

I just began smoking a pipe again a couple months ago. Of course, my pipe collection was packed away and It was decided on a whim. So I trucked over to the local drug store across the street, picked myself up a Grabow and a pouch of Capt. Black.

For those who say this is a good starter tobacco.... Not a chance. This was a horrible way to get back into it, and save for knowing that there are better options at one of my local smoke shops, it may have scared me away from coming back all together.

The room note is great, there is no denying that. Anyone within snouts distance is gonna love this. However, that is where the positives end. I found the taste, from what I could gather over the tounge bite to be boring. There is not much to this and unless you are willing to suffer through a bitter pain on your lolly pop licker, not worth it at all.

If this stuff worked in a potpouri burner... I might keep some around. Otherwise... even in a jam, Ill suffer without smoking.

I haven't smoked this in years, so this review comes from memory, but I recall this as being a more plastic tasting version of Captain Black. Smokes wet, no tobacco flavour and lacks Captain Black White's two salvations: Availability and over the top Great Room Note!

If I were offered a pipe of this and there was no other tobacco available I may try it again, but I certainly wouldn't pay for it. Also, it's hardly worth gooping up a perfectly good pipe for.
