Got a coupon to get this for $1 a pouch so why not. Typical of CB, nice pouch note, nice room note. The pouch I bought was not overly moist. Nice burn with few relights. Nice taste, a little mild. Similar to 1Q, but has the Captain Black bite.

I have a difficult time finding aro's that I can enjoy for any length of time; however, I keep Captain Black, along with a handfull of other aromatics around for those moments when I want a change of pace. This blend, like all Captain Black varieties, is sweet tasting and quite pleasing for bystanders. This blend however doesn't leave behind quite so strong an aftertaste as some aro's, and for me, is not as prone to inducing tongue bite as other, often more expensive blends.

Decent over the counter blend. CB Royal is something ill smoke when im around others at social events. Everyone seems to really like the room note on this one. Sip it, as it does have some bite to it.

I picked up a pouch of this on my way to a Christmas party after my girlfriend grabbed an empty tin of MacBaren Vanilla Cream I had next to a full one. I was a bit leery about this sense I'm not a big fan of Captain in a white pouch, but figured "why not" . Once I got to smoke it I was pleasantly surprised when I lit it. Much different than the white pouch. Had a nice sweet vanilla flavor and a real nice room note that everyone at the party complimented. I'll be adding this to my regular tobacco rotation from now on.

What can I say, I avoided Captain Black due to reviews and some preconceived prejudices on where it was carried etc. I decided to day to give it a fair shake and I was pleasantly surprised. Touch damp, though it never bit. smelled great in the pouch, smoked some as I drove home, and in the room note (van cabin note?) was great. passed the missus test for room and tin note and tastes great! I would almost give this a 4 star but it is quite damp, a little goopy though I will say this is based on one pouch. I will definitely buy it again and would recommend it to my friends with a drying time disclaimer.

I prefer Royal to "White" as I think it has a slightly better taste to it. Burns well, tastes good, smells great and is available almost anywhere.

I bought this in bulk at the same time as I got the Captain Black White and both are great. I have to say that I think the White is a bit better but they are both really great blends. I find with the Royal I get a coating in my mouth when I smoke it. It smells stronger than it smokes. I would not hesitate to buy this blend again. Definitely recommended.

Very nice smell of tobacco when you open the pouch. However the taste was not as good as I expected. It burns with the right temperature. The price is fair and the smoke is enjoyable.

I really enjoy Royal. Not as wet as Captain White. But very similiar in many ways. I Don't get that goopy mess at the end of the bowl with Royal. I highly suggest it if you like aromatics or are just starting out. And I don't think its cheap tobacco at 7-8 bucks a pouch.

This is the absolute classic pipe tobacco for the beginner or, in my case, a way to reminisce on the past. My great grandfather smoked this, my father does from time to time, and I knock a few bowls back from time to time. It is a very mild smoke. Depending on how fast you draw it can bite but very quickly cools down.
I understand many people on this forum might not like it because it is an aromatic or that it is just a cheap easy blend to obtain. I give you all this challenge, age this tobacco. I am sitting on some that is 17 years old and is absolutely fantastic!
