I do not recommend this for smoking in a pipe. That does not seem to be its real intended purpose. This is a fine roll-your-own tobacco. It's a ribbon cut, rather than a shag as are most RYO tobaccos, and can be used to blend with nd tone down other pipe tobaccos. On its own it's not a bad smoke in a pipe although it can burn a bit fast if you're not careful and thus become too hot.
As a RYO tobacco, on the other hand, it rates among the best. The Peter Stokebye RYO blends are a bit better, but at 6x the price they should be. They're not 6x better. I do treat myself to a cigarette I roll from one of the Stokebye blends from time to time but generally when I want a quick cigarette, it's Red Cap I turn to. Even after the exhorbitant tax imposed on tobaccos this can still be had for around $19 a pound.

I have used this tobacco for RYO with filtered tubes for over 5 yrs. I switched from Gambler because for some reason every 3rd bag would give me extreme heartburn with EVERY one i smoked. I found that the Red Cap is great for using the machine to "stuff" tubes, the taste does not reflect that of a "pipe" tobacco, nor does the smell come off as a "pipe" tobacco. The cost is much better than the Gambler too. I was paying 9.something for a 6 oz of Gambler, now i pay 8.50 or close to that for the Red Cap. I recommend this for those that do not like the smell of cigars or pipes as its flavor and aroma are quite tolerable even for the more sensitive palates. If I were to compare it to regular cigarettes; I think it would be a cross between a Marlboro and a Pall Mall. Keep in mind also that most of these kinds of tobacco products do offer a "light" blend and/or light filtered tubes.
