Lane Limited Captain Black Cherry

I like Captain black white, one of my favorites, so i thought i would try the cherry. Strong smell when i opened the pouch, thought it would be nice. I was wrong. The room note was not offensive at all, but the taste was too strong. The cherry was overpowering. The taste hung in my mouth and on my tounge. It stayed in the pipe as well. I tried it later on the same day, and gave up on this cherry tobacco. Its not for me.

I opeaned the pouch, and was punched in the face by cherries. Smoked a (1) pipe of this tobacco. The tobacco was mild but the cherry taist was overwellming. After one pipe of this tobacco I could not get the cherry taist out of my pipe. After smoking several bowels full of a good english blend (my mixture 965) my pipe was back to normal.

MMMMM Chapstick......thats kinda how it tastes, you can really tell there is something artificial about it. That said I still kinda like it. Would never be an all day smoke for me, but maybe every now and then. I do recommend not wasting any of your good briar on this though, maybe try it in a cob.

While I'm not a great fan of CB this is the only one of the line that I can't stand at all. There's something about artificial cherries that just turns my gut sideways. If you like cherry tobacco you might like this. I didn't. I'd rather have a train run over my lips.

I was looking for a good, cheap, intro tobacco. I was told by a friend that Captain Black Cherry was a good one to start with, that he had very much enjoyed it himself. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me.

Right out of the pouch, It gave off a very sweet, chemical cherry aroma. The first bowl I smoked, I thought the tastelessness of it was normal. The second bowl yielded the same. It was then I realized smoking was supposed to be relaxed and fun. But this tobacco didn't taste good, and I wasn't relaxed, or enjoying myself.

Now, I'm not saying all CB tobaccos are bad, just this one. It is my recommendation that you DO NOT purchase this product, unless you want a very unsatisfying smoke.

Cheers.

The Captain needs to be demoted in my opinion...or reprimanded at the very least. This is the the most strongly smelling of the three CBs I have tried and the last one I'll try as well. Very flat flavor and a strong cherry aroma which smells very artificial. Though this series of tobaccos is the worst I have smoked, people just love the aroma and I have to admit when I smell someone else smoking this I think it smells nice too. Not too much smoke while smoldering and it tasted like burning plastic and Luden's cherry cough drops (Sorry Luden's but I still love you and WILL buy you again).

I couldn't stop myself to try a cherry. This happens more than 10 years ago. I still remember that unfortunate day in which I have made a big mistake. This is not a pipe tobacco!

Hey what can I say, you got to please the folks around you in a close knit situation. Everytime I smoke this in public, I always have people saying "oh that smells so good, smells like grandpa". I only smoke this when I have to keep the peace! You got to admit, it does smell great, the taste, well, you know.
