Lane Limited Captain Black Cherry

Ok don't know how I forgot to rate this but here goes this is sh$$ the worst tobacco ever made period and thank God this stuff is not around anymore bottom line don't watse your cash

Out the pack, the smoke was hot air for me. Too moist.

Smelled like cherry hard candy in the pouch. Mix of pleasant brown and tan tobacco ribbons.

I tried this one again after letting it sit out overnight. This made a world of a difference!

The taste really came through, lots of Cherry. The taste reminds of a cherry sucker....maybe DumDum cherry sucker because it's not very tart (something I would have preferred) more sweet than anything. Mid bowl I got more of the tobacco but in general the artificial cherry stays center.

Nic is barely there.

Didn't bite but pipe got hot.

Because it ends up tasting how it claims, like Cherry, I rate it a 2.5 for aromatic. This was nothing like the cough syrup cherry of Half and Half (the second cherry one Ive tried so far).

But because it tastes super fake and barely any tobacco taste it's a 1.5 to 2.

This is one of the first tobaccos I tried, many years ago, so the nostalgia probably affects my opinion on this one. It's definitely not the best, but I can still enjoy it from time to time.

Tin Note: Can't Wait - This is probably my favorite thing about this tobacco. The smell takes me back to my 20s when I first tried out pipe smoking, so it holds a special place for me. I really like the scent of Cherry flavoring, so I'm a big fan.

Pack/Light: Standard - No issues packing or lighting it.

Taste: It'll Do - The taste doesn't quite live up to the smell, in my opinion. It starts out with a lot of promise, but it quickly becomes rather one-dimensional.

Mouth Feel: A Bit Harsh - I find that it starts getting harsh fairly early into the smoke. I do get a little tongue bite, but it's not terrible. Using a long-stemmed pipe, like a churchwarden, has helped to minimize this.

Room Note: Phew! - The room note is not as pleasant as the tin note, leaving a less than desirable smell lingering. Personally, I don't mind it so much, but my wife is not a fan, so I have to take that into consideration.

Overall: Good - It's not the first blend I would reach for, but I wouldn't throw it in the trash either. It's an acceptable aromatic that is widely accessible and inexpensive. I love the cherry scent on the nose, but I wish it followed through after lighting. I feel like this one gets my hopes up and then disappoints, but I wouldn't say it's a bad tobacco by any means. I'd recommend using a churchwarden-style pipe to mitigate the bite.

Pouch note is cherry hard candy. Actually one of the best cherry pouch notes I’ve smelled. No tobacco smell at all just cherry. Moisture level isn’t bad. It’s a little sticky but not goopy. Lights just fine.

The taste is a cherry candy, sweet cavendish, and a slight plastic artificial taste. That’s about it. It’s mild. The retrohale made me sneeze. It did burn hot, would probably bite. Very one dimensional, sweet cavendish and some cherry however it quickly goes away. There’s no tobacco flavors to it. The room note I was told was very nice. Obviously cherry. Wasn’t awful but wasn’t good. A lot of hot air and little body.

If this was the last pouch of tobacco I had I would give up pipe smoking. One star.

A few weeks ago I had a craving for a cherry aromatic and my closest tobacco shops only stock Captain Black which I had never tried before. I cant explain it but I love this tobacco. I’ve smoked it in all manners of different pipes, filtered and unfiltered, and I absolutely can not get it to bite. It’s smooth and easy on the tongue and never leaves me with palate fatigue. The room note is wonderful and everyone around compliments it. Now make no mistake: it tastes exactly like cherry chapstick. This is not an exaggeration, it’s as if they rubbed cherry chapstick right on the tobacco. I don’t mind this a bit as I think that’s a pleasant taste. I still like my virginias, VaPers, burleys, and latakia blends but this is now an everyday smoke for me.

I read a lot of the negative reviews before trying and so I was a bit hesitant to try this one. The smell of the tobacco in the pouch is very strong, candy like, but pleasant. I lit it up in my clay pipe...I find the tobaccos that seem more moist do well in the clay pipes.

Didn't have too much of an issue keeping it lit. Tried to smoke it quite slowly to avoid the infamous bite. It burned hot but wasn't as bad as I expected. The artificial cherry flavor came through very strongly and tasted a bit chemically so I can see why it rubs a lot of people the wrong way. Overall it wasn't the worst thing I've ever smoked, I'd probably have it again if I was short on options.

I wanted to like it so bad! However, I had to face the music and admit: it simply has an artificial, cheap cherry aroma. The tobacco itself smokes fine and lights fine. Has a proper smoke and mouth feel, but the cherry is kills it. "Artificial" is the one word that sums it up. The room note isn't bad; it's just cheap, fake cherry. As far as flavor, there wasn't any. The taste pushed no cherry whatsoever. If you're looking for nice cherry, it won't be found here.

I approached this blend as unbiased as I could. I love a good aromatic and if there's the little extra intensity in flavoring, I'd gladly take it too. I end up both delighted and disappointed with Captain Black Cherry.

The tobacco comes a little moist and sticky. The pouch note is very obviously cherry. Maybe that's what worried me a little. Not too artificial though, pleasant.

Packing the ribbon cut is simple, drying beforehand is highly recommended. Average number of relights needed. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The smoke is beautifully thick white. The pure volume is pleasant to look at. The room note is wonderful. Enjoyable and surprisingly mild on retrohales.

There's an earthy note to the tobacco. Every now and then the cherry is actually shining through in taste as well. Beyond that the tobacco is fairly one-dimensional. The big no for me is the bitterness of the tobacco that comes through more and more. It becomes increasingly harsh to the smoker while everyone else enjoys the smell. Contrary to other people here, it didn't burn hot. However, even for a slow smoker it seems impossible to smoke without eventual tongue bite.

Burns wet, leaves some residue in the bowl, may gurgle a little despite drying to the crinkle-point. Leaves an interesting, unfamiliar aftertaste in the mouth, not unpleasant, but not sure whether that's good.

This tobacco sadly ends up being enjoyable to everyone but the one smoking it. I wish it tasted better

walking through a neighborhood far from my home, i stopped in front of a store where this tobacco was being sold way cheaper than i´m used to see (like 5 dollars less than usual) so i thought could be the moment to give a try. Once opened the pouch the smell is just OK, like any other Captain Black, chemical and wet. After lit, the first scent is a strong candy and sweet cherry, i could feel a bit of vanilla sometimes, never the tobacco flavor. It´s strongly cased and strongly artificially sweetened. HARD to keep it lit. Not my kind of tobacco, but i have tried worst aromatics before. Just recommended for the ones who really like aromatics and i am one of them but even if it´s your case, you might feel a bit overwhelmed by the artificial casing, it delivers almost the same flavor from the beginning till the end. It will ghost your pipe for ever, be carfeful.
