Lane Limited Captain Black Cherry

Has no tongue bite last I recall. I'm a little overwhelmed by the highly negative reviews of this product. Personally I do like this Captain Black Cherry. I enjoy the taste of cherry even if it's not the highest of quality or the balance with the tobacco. It's obviously not for everyone, but it's good for me.

I think that some reviewers are not aro smokers and others have different tastes. I smoke English oriental blends, but definitely have a very sweet tooth and always have. If you want CHERRY you get Cherry with Captain Black. I also like Gawith's Top Black, and Lane's Very Cherry, and have blended them together to experiment and with BCA also. Funny how when you go to P&C website, how different the rating of the toby is ... they rate it much higher than here.

Wow, this stuff is as rough as a 60 year old lady trucker. The aroma is intoxicatingly strong, it packs a punch and is almost sour smelling in the pouch. It's dry for an aromatic, can't tell ya how it smokes because I don't know if I can go back to another bowl. It's hot, it bites, and it's nasty. The only thing I can see for it is to add a pinch of it to a handful of a good black cavindish or a vanilla blend to make a decent Cherry Vanilla blend...that's what I bought it for. Other than that it has no use for anyone, If there was a real "Captain Black", even he woulnd't smoke this stuff. Hopefully no first timers try this because they will quit and miss out on the wonderful pleasure of pipe smoking.

This is absolutely the worst tobacco I have ever tried!!

If you like cough syrup you will love this awful tasting stuff. This is not even recommended for the beginner. Upon opening the pouch, I noticed an unnatural smell which should have told me something right there. It even smells like cough syrup. I tried a bowl anyway and had to brush my teeth afterwards. The smell is OK though, and that is the nicest thing I have to say about it.

If you like cherry flavoring, try Lane's TK-6 instead.

Update: I forgot to mention, DO NOT use a good quality pipe if you choose to smoke this stuff, use a drug store brand pipe. I do not own any cheap pipes and one of my coveted Lanes era Charatan Canadian imparted such a foul tast and smell, it had to be completely cleaned with lots of TLC.

Still another YUK! Do not waste your money on this imatation flavored and putrid stuff. Be warned!!!

I always get a laugh when I read a review that starts out something like this. “I normally do not smoke cherry blends….” and then they go and describe how nasty it is and trash it. Maybe my tastes buds are not as good as they use to be or I simply have bad taste but I found this cherry blend to be mild and did not bite like some others I have tried. I got what I expected with it being a Captain Black blend and it really wasn’t bad at all. I wouldn’t throw it away like some reviewers have. 3 stars in my book.

Its horrible! It's funny that this was my first tobacco. Chemical aroma without deep notes. Not a tobacco but garbage. There are so many cool aromatics in the word. Guys, never buy it.

Lane Limited - Captain Black Cherry.

O.K., this isn't perfect, but I don't find it as abhorrent as the higher proportion of reviewers do!

It's a coarse cut mix that has a far greater amount of brown/golden Cavendish compared to any black. The smell is strong, and yes, also exceedingly false (like the smoke).

A good level of hydration enabled my first bowl to be smoked straight away. As I said, the smoke has a very false taste of cherries to it, being sweet and strongly aromatic, but I see it a bit like making a comparison between a cup of Kopi Luwak coffee, and one from McDonalds; sometimes you want something eminent and expensive to savour and enjoy, but on other occasions you require something for a quick fix! If you want a high end cherry blend go visit Sam Gawith's Black Cherry, but for some cheap thrills this'll do nicely! I get very little from the tobaccos, the cherry has been included in far to strong a fashion. On a low note, something that would deter cheap thrill seekers and connoisseurs alike is the speed: very fast.

The nicotine's mild, and the room-note's pleasing.

Sure, it isn't the best cherry blend, but nor is it the worst.

Two and a half stars.

Well, this is one of the first blends I have smoked and it was what my father smoked exclusively. So, it had some nostalgic value for me, which made me pick it up in the first place. But aside from nostalgia, it isn't a good blend whatsoever. The taste is quite chemical and it aches my tongue, even if it doesn't bite. It just gives it some ache. The cut is okay, but with a noticeable amount of twigs and stems within the pouch. It is quite moist out of the pouch..And it stays like this for a long long time. the only good thing about it is the aroma out of the pouch and the room note which people complement
